Literary analysis:
In literature, the term "celeste" is often employed not as a name but as a delicate, sky‐blue hue imbued with ethereal and heavenly connotations. For example, Spanish texts make use of the adjective to evoke a sense of lightness and transcendence. In one instance, a “rayo celeste” is featured, where the beam’s pale, otherworldly tint unexpectedly transforms the scene—a striking moment of celestial illumination [1]. Additionally, lexicographical sources clarify that "celeste" carries the meaning of “heavenly,” reinforcing its association with the gentle, airy blue of a clear sky [2]. Such usage underscores the color’s symbolic role as an emblem of purity, calm, and the sublime in literary imagery.
  1. Un rayo celeste Polvo la tornó.
    — from Life in Mexico by Madame (Frances Erskine Inglis) Calderón de la Barca
  2. célebre , famous, illustrious. celeste , heavenly.
    — from A First Spanish Reader by Alfred Remy and Erwin W. Roessler
