For instance, 'to justify the ways of God to man. That is a grand moral doctrine; but to utter the doctrine authentically a man must write a 'Paradise Lost. The order of precedency, therefore, between poets and moralists, as laid down by Lord Byron, is very soon inverted by a slight effort of reflection.
See all around luxuriant trophies lye, And their encreasing wealth new ills supply. Golden aspiring piles here heav'n invade, There on the sea encroaching bounds are made. Where fields contriving as from waters sprung, Inverted nature's injur'd laws they wrong.
The tiny inverted face is full of expression, the bead-like eyes gleaming brightly from out of their furry bed. The small moist nostrils are constantly wrinkling and sniffling, and the large size of the alert ears shows how much their owner depends upon them for information.
We left the great inverted arch of the valley behind us, looking back as long as we could at Blencathra, and Skiddaw over its shoulder, and the clouds were gathering over them at our last glimpse. At Ambleside we took another car for Newby Bridge, whither we drove along the eastern shore of Windermere.
In Paradise Lost the relation of the two events is inverted, the fall of the angels being there an episode, not transacted, but told by one of the personages of the epic.

This was a mass of steel weighing fifty tons and curved upwards like the inverted beak of an eagle.
A few seconds passed not to be measured in time and she saw that the upper part of his body had slipped down, and his head was hanging, inverted, near the floor between the bed and the ottoman. His face, neck, and hands were dark and congested; his mouth was open, and the tongue protruded between the black, swollen, mucous lips; his eyes were prominent and coldly staring. The fact was that Mr.
A small tent, dirty and patched, stood with its back against the slope of earth down which he had plunged. Its flap flung aside revealed within a pile of disarranged blankets, together with some scattered articles of wearing apparel, while just before the opening, his back pressed against the supporting pole, an inverted pipe between his yellow, irregular teeth, sat a hideous looking man.
