“the clean flame of her gaze”
“that courtesy”

Reason: “the clean flame of her gaze” uses elevated, almost sacred imagery that shows admiration; “that courtesy” highlights respectful treatment and reverence for her behavior. The other lines are more neutral or descriptive rather than clearly reverent.
