Such allusions, refined at first by art and hallowed at last by familiar memory, lie treasured in men's hearts and enshrine themselves in our noblest literature.
As Philip went down the road in the darkness, he heard the words of the hymn that was being sung inside: "Thy glory why didst Thou enshrine In such a clod of earth as mine, And wrap Thee in my clay." At that moment day was breaking over the plains of the Transvaal. The bare Veldt was opening out as the darkness receded, depth on depth, like the surface of an unbroken sea.
Annesley and Knight gave their dinner party in a private room adjoining their own sitting room, and connecting also with another smaller room which they had had fitted up for a special purpose. This purpose was to enshrine the seeress and her crystal.

No man of middle-aged experience can ever be in love. He may have his illusions.
He wished to surprise the School. The concerts at Harrow take place in the great Speech-room. Their characteristic note is the singing of Harrow songs.

Recent events prelude the acquisition and development of over thirty acres of property surrounding Bahá’u’lláh’s resting place and are paving the way for the erection in the course of future decades of a befitting Mausoleum destined to enshrine the Dust of the Founder of God’s Most Holy Faith. —Shoghi
Let us say, then, honestly, what we honestly think, the feeling, the mastery and choice of language, the intellectual comprehensiveness of glance, which can so order the many-columned aisle of a period, that the eye, losing none of the crowded particulars, yet sees through all, at the vista's end, the gleaming figure of thought to enshrine which the costly fabric was reared, all these qualities of the orator demand and receive our sincere applause.
