Years and the moving forces of life had polished him as running water polishes a stone. The Baron von Steinlach showed to Herr Haase a countenance supple as a hand and formidable as a fist. "Thank you, my good Haase," he said, in his strong deliberate German. "You look hot. This sun, eh? Poor fellow!" But he did not bid him sit down.
They test the steel that will carry us safely on our journeys, they pass upon the chemical composition of the flavor in our cake, as heads of departments in metal refining companies they determine the kind of copper battery we shall use, and they have a finger in our liquid glues, household oils and polishes. And the awakened spirit of social responsibility has opened new callings.
A bootblack who polishes his shoes as well as he can, not merely because he is to be paid for it, though too he has a right to his pay, but because that is his work, his means of expression, even he works in the spirit of an artist. Extraordinary skill is often developed by those who are quite outside the pale of art.
Then they raise up their hands and begin yelling, 'Kamerade, Kamerade, and someone says, 'Come on, fellers, let's take this poor beggar, and we're about to do it when along comes a chap and sees this devil, and up goes a gun by the barrel, and whack it comes down on the Boche's head, and the feller says, 'No, damn him, he killed my pal, and we polishes him off! polishes him off and cleans out the trench."
"We polishes our language, Captain, when we speak of niggers in South Carolina," said the pilot. "A South Carolinian, sir, is a gentleman all over the world. It don't want nothin' further than the name of his State to insure him respect.

On top it is petrified, and polishes very nicely, but a little below it is nice and fresh, and can be cut out with a knife, all ready for the table.
"I know you don't think me fit to hold a candle to him," he said. "But I happen to know, for all he rides such a good horse, he's not above doing the work of a wretched menial, for he polishes his own stirrup-irons." "I'm very glad to hear it," rejoined Mary. "He must be more of a gentleman yet than I thought him." "Then why should you count him a better gentleman than me?"
Several times over, the fly leaves the bird's beak and comes to take a rest upon the wire gauze, where she brushes her hind legs one against the other. In particular, before using it again, she cleans, smoothes and polishes her laying tool, the probe that places the eggs. Then, feeling her womb still teeming, she returns to the same spot at the joint of the beak.
June opens with an overhaul of officers and men. Last leave is distributed, the doctor examines everybody by batches, backward warriors are worried until they become expert, the sergeant-major polishes his men on the grindstone of discipline, the C.O. indents for a draft to complete establishment, an inspection is held by an awesome general.
The last two stanzas run thus: A gaudy dress and gentle air May slightly touch the heart; But it's Innocence and Modesty That polishes the dart. 'Tis this in Nelly pleases me, 'Tis this enchants my soul! For absolutely in my breast She reigns without control.
