For instance, pillars and looped-up curtains painted on flat walls, with pretentious shadows, having no reference to the real direction of the light. At the east end some Hebrew letters, executed as journeymen painters usually do execute them, had a less cheerful look than the highly-coloured lion and unicorn on the gallery in front.
"What a pleasant sight it would be, uncle," Mary, almost unconsciously to herself, remarked, as, with tearful eyes, she sat gazing intently on the water, "could we only awake and find the Sea Lion at anchor, under the point of Gardiner's Island! I often fancy that such may be nay, must be the case yet; but it never comes to pass!
The lion generally springs on his prey from behind or a little off the quarter. By the impetus his own weight he hurls his victim forward, doubling its head under, and very neatly breaking its neck.
"Your pardon, sire!" exclaimed Robin Hood. "Pardon, from your royal bounty, for these my men who stand ready to serve you all your days!" Richard of the Lion Heart looked grimly about over the kneeling band. "Is it as your leader says?" he asked. "Aye, my lord King!" burst from sevenscore throats at once.
We thought of the glory of driving through the streets of Nairobi with a lion or two hanging over the back of the carriage. It would have been historic. Citizens would have talked of it for years.

God is a conqueror. He is a devouring lion.
You will not be surprised to hear that the lion was the one chosen by all the little boys, when they answered their question about animals mentioned in the Bible. I also had references given me to Daniel in the den of lions and to the sad story of the prophet who disobeyed the word of the Lord, and was slain by a lion.
The jury having consulted for a few moments, the Clerk of Arraigns asked: "Do you find the plea of justification has been proved or not?" Foreman: "Yes." "You say that the defendant is 'not guilty, and that is the verdict of you all?" Foreman: "Yes, and we also find that it is for the public benefit." The last kick to the dead lion.
