Famous quotes containing the word lowered:

    “No man has hired us
    With pocketed hands
    And lowered faces
    We stand about in open places
    And shiver in unlit rooms.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
    At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
