Glad to meet native English speakers here, but forgive me again for requirement of the queries met during my learning English.
Surely if they had been zealous to pluck a brand from the burning, here was a noble opportunity.(original)
Question:
Is the original grammatically correct?
I don't know what is the exact meaning of the word "brand" here?
I guess it perhaps has three meanings by dictionary : (1) type of product, (2) a mark made with a piece of hot metal especially on farm animals to show who owned them,(3) a burning wood, and (4) torch ‖ a long piece of wood that has materials at one end that is set on fire and that people carry to give light),
but each of all those felt not be in line with or match the "noble opportunity" by logic.
I guess it must be another meaning which I don't know.
Could you tell me what it means?

Could you please elaborate on the meaning of this particular line, "If anyone understood loneliness, the moon would"? By the way, is it one of the standard literary devices writers use?
Later, WANDERING HER BEACH, she recited her favorite Amanda Hamilton poem.
"Fading moon, follow
My footsteps
Through light unbroken
By land shadows,
And share my senses
That feel the cool
Shoulders of silence.
Only you know
How one side of a moment
Is stretched by loneliness
For miles
To the other edge,
And how much sky
Is in on breath
When time slides backward
From the sand."
If anyone understood loneliness, the moon would.
Drifting back to the predictable cycles of tadpoles and the ballet of fireflies, Kya burrowed deeper into the wordless wilderness. Nature seemed the only stone that would not slip midstream.

What's a "remembered snag" in the context? Is there another way to describe it?
The sun had broken up the clouds and shone bright and warm for a winter day. As she steered them through narrow channels and glassy estuaries, he exclaimed at a remembered snag, the same as it had been, and a beaver lodge still piled in the exact spot.
