The sacred body of our Blessed Redeemer was wrapped in the winding-sheet, and surrounded with light, while two angels sat in an attitude of adoration, the one at the head, and the other at the feet.I had seen them in the same posture ever since he was first put into the tomb....
He was in the same posture when she returned with bottle and glass.She poured out some, and made much of it as a specific, and of the great things brandy would do; but he motioned his hand from it feebly, till she reproached him tenderly as perverse and unkind....
The young man was still sitting in the same posture, with his gaze bent on the open sea.His left hand was extended rigidly on the table in front of him, with the thumb, extended at right angles, oscillating rapidly in a peculiar manner....
Sunning behaviour helps warm birds in the morning, reducing the need to use energy to raise the temperature.It also has a social aspect, as multiple birds adopt the same posture.Finally, it may help stimulate parasites in the feathers, making them easier to find and remove....
Let us suppose the pictures in the fund of the eye to be the immediate objects of the sight.The consequence is that things should appear in the same posture they are painted in; and is it not so?The head which is seen seems farthest from the earth which is seen; and the feet which are seen seem nearest to the earth, which is seen; and just so they are painted....
My weak and dazzled eyes were unable to bear a nearer approach to a gleam of light which I saw trembling above me.I was compelled to close them again, and remain motionless in the same posture.A full hour elapsed, before I was sufficiently myself to examine the surrounding Objects....

Neither of them answered, since they were aware that it betokened the going forth of Alroy to his trial.Miriam remained in the same posture, and with the same expression of wild inquiry.Another trumpet sounded, and after that a shout of the people....
In 1949 for the first time in his life he saw a statue of Buddha.He remained petrified in front of it and, when he returned to his home, he immediately put himself in the same posture as the statue.Closing his eyes, he began to focus on an internal sound that he heard within the ears and the head, without even knowing that what he was doing was meditation and that the sound on which he focused was known in India as the Nada, a form of concentration known to both Hindus and Buddhists....
She sat thinking, in exactly the same posture as Sophia's two afternoons previously.She would have been surprised to hear that her attitude, bearing, and expression powerfully recalled those of her reprehensible daughter....
