He rested his glance on the upper floors, where the glass dazzlingly reflected the broken-up sun which was for ever departing from Mikhail Alexandrovich, then shifted it lower down to where the windows were beginning to dark before evening, smiled condescendingly at something, narrowed his eves, put his hands on the knob and his chin on his hands.
He fixed his gaze on the upper floors, dazzlingly reflecting in the glass the broken sun that was leaving Mikhail Alexandrovich forever, then he turned his gaze downwards, where the glass began to darken in the early evening, smiled condescendingly at something, squinted, put his hands on the knob, and his chin on his hands.
The Master and Margarita. Mikhail Bulgakov, p. 5Each picture told a story; mysterious often to my undeveloped understanding and imperfect feelings, yet ever profoundly interesting: as interesting as the tales Bessie sometimes narrated on winter evenings, when she chanced to be in good humour; and when, having brought her ironing-table to the nursery hearth, she allowed us to sit about it, and while she got up Mrs. Reed's lace frills, and crimped her nightcap borders, fed our eager attention with passages of love and adventure taken from old fairy tales and other ballads; or (as at a later period I discovered) from the pages of Pamela, and Henry, Earl of Moreland.
Each picture contained a whole story, sometimes difficult for my inexperienced mind and vague perceptions, but full of deep interest - the same as the tales that Bessie told us on winter evenings on those rare occasions when she was in a good mood. Pushing the ironing table close to the fireplace in our nursery, she would allow us to sit around and, ironing the blondes on Mrs. Reed's skirts or flattening the frills of her nightcap with tongs, she would quench our greedy curiosity with tales of love and adventure borrowed from the ancient fairy tales and even more ancient ballads, or, as I discovered in later years, from Pamela and Henry, Duke of Morland.
Jane Eyre. Charlotte Brontë, page 3The clouds were building up now for the trade wind and he looked ahead and saw a flight of wild ducks etching themselves against the sky over the water, then blurring, then etching again and he knew no man was ever alone on the sea.
The clouds piled up, foreshadowing the trade wind, and, looking ahead, he noticed a flock of wild ducks over the water, sharply outlined in the sky; Now the flock blurred, then again became even clearer, and the old man realized that a man is never alone at sea.
The old man and the sea. Ernest Hemingway, page 33
