exultance

His very muscles welcomed her with such exultance that he must forcibly restrain them from too ardent a clasp.

His chief sensation was one of utter loneliness, mingled with exultance at freedom.

Of endurance he knew nothing and in his keen and cynical exultance his devil made a fool of him.

There was an exultance about his bearing and a keenness like that of a hunting animal catching the fresh scent of game.

If it would have freed her from pain he would have hugged his own with the savage exultance of a flagellant.
