who fails to achieve anything notable. From 4th pan, n.,
sense 3 -- part of a flintlock. Occasionally, the powder
in the pan of a flintlock would flash without conveying
the fire to the charge, and the ball would fail to be
discharged. Thus, a good or even spectacular beginning

report. To glisten, or glister, is to shine with a
soft and fitful luster, as eyes suffused with tears,
