Showed

Famous quotes containing the word showed:

“He took him down below a cramping rafter,
And showed him, through a manhole in the floor,
The water in desperate straits like frantic fish,
Salmon and sturgeon, lashing with their tails.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“His delights
Were dolphin-like, they showed his back above
The element they lived in.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
