Certainly, it cannot be said of Angelico's fresco that it throws into a sensible form our highest thoughts about man and his relation to the world; but it did not do this adequately even for Angelico.
Langdell has called attention to a very important principle, and one which, no doubt, throws light on many decisions. /1/ This is, that, where you have a bilateral contract, while the consideration of each promise is the counter promise, yet prima facie the payment for performance of one is performance of the other.
I should be inclined to propose that the soldier who leaves his rank or throws away his arms, or is guilty of any other act of cowardice, should be degraded into the rank of a husbandman or artisan. What do you think? By all means, I should say.
Behind the cradle, her eyes and arms raised imploringly toward heaven, stands the nurse, while the child continues to slumber, smiling in its sleep. At the expiration of an hour thus passed, the imperial infant moves, throws up its little rosy arms, opens its eyes it is awake!
"H'm another sort, maybe but one can't buy it by the glass only by the bottle somewhat too much." Slowly his gaze wandered over in my direction; I read in his eyes the dumb inquiry a man sometimes throws his neighbor when he wants to go halves with him over a bottle of wine.

Woe, woe to those lying upon the battle-field, living, breathing, conscious of their defeat and of their great agony! Woe! woe! for they hear the sound of the tramping and neighing of horses they come nearer and nearer. The moon throws the long, dark shadows of those advancing horse-men over the battle-field.

The nature of the chains are doubtless innocent, if those which a woman throws round us be ever distinguishable. He loves his wife he is not a monster." "He appears desperately feverish," said Merthyr. "Did you not notice it?
