"Stop!" he roared; and then he literally turned over and came so nearly into the boat that he touched the stern as it passed, and the water he raised in a tremendous splash flew all over the boys.
If we are to interpret the "beasts of the earth" literally, then we may easily perceive how the depopulation produced by the other calamities would make way for their increase and destructive ravages.
It was said that he is very rich, and could well find the money. The dates are almost the only food here, and the streets are literally gravelled with their stones. Santa Maria again returned his horse to the Bey, and got another in its stead. He is certainly a man of delicate feeling.
Yea, and he shall stand, for God is able to make him stand. Beside, the text says, if we are to take it literally, as we always ought with Scripture, not that every HEAD shall bow at the name of Jesus, but every knee. And to kneel down every time we repeat that holy name would be impossible.
The city of Helena is built on the tailings of these placer washings, and its streets are literally paved with gold even to-day.
The Judge shot out of his chair like a long jack-in-the box, and towered to his full height. "Mr. Brice, did you, or did you not, buy a woman at auction to-day?" "I did, sir."

For at the end of a time that under his influence I had quite ceased to measure, I started up with a strange sense of having literally slept at my post.

Our own stretcher-bearers worked night and day, but they had suffered many casualties and were unequal to the task.
The monastery stands on the bank of the river Donets at the foot of a huge white rock covered with gardens, oaks, and ancient pines crowded together and over-hanging, one above another. It seems as if the trees had not enough room on the rock, and as if some force were driving them upwards.... The pines literally hang in the air and look as though they might fall any minute.
The soul is like water in a vessel, which appears pellucid when the sun does not shine through it; but if it does, the water then is found to be full of motes. This comparison is literally correct.
