The life of St. Nicholas is depicted in 18 scenes in the narthex (the second section of the church).

Thus at the end of the scientific section, for instance, Duchenne "corrects" the expressions of three widely revered classic Greek or Roman antiquities: In no manner, argues Duchenne, do any of these countenances conform to nature as revealed by his electrophysiological research.

On the > contrary, nothing is more moving and appealing than such an expression of > pain on a young forehead, which is usually so serene.Duchenne, Mecanisme, > part 2, 125; Cuthbertson trans.
Daniel specifically refuses the king's "meat" (paṯbaḡ, Strong's #5698, p. 834.) and instead requests vegetables (zērōʿîm, Strong's #2235, p. 283.).[] However, current common theology argues that in this instance Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah are rejecting food that is considered to be unholy by their faith (eating food that had been sacrificed to pagan gods), and not meat per se, despite that "at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat".[] Philo says that the Essenes, "being more scrupulous than any in the worship of God […] do not sacrifice animals […], but hold it right to dedicate their own hearts as a worthy offering".

Reading the Attribute "long-suffering" (, erekh appayim) in Rabbi Ḥaggai (or some say Rabbi Samuel bar Naḥmani) asked why it says , erekh appayim, using a plural form (meaning "faces" or "countenances") rather than , erekh af, using the singular form.

In the popular imagination of the mid-19th century, "poor white trash" were a "curious" breed of degenerate, gaunt, haggard people who suffered from numerous physical and social defects. They were dirty, callow, ragged, cadaverous, leathery, and emaciated, and had feeble children with distended abdomens who were wrinkled and withered and looked aged beyond their physical years, so that even 10-year-olds' "countenances are stupid and heavy and they often become dropsical and loathsome to sight," according to a New Hampshire schoolteacher. The skin of a poor white Southerner had a "ghastly yellowish-white" tinge to it, like "yellow parchment", and was waxy looking, or they were so white they almost appeared to be albinos. They were listless and slothful, did not properly care for their children, and were addicted to alcohol.

We were forced to submit to the doctrine of > nonresistance, and comply with their demands, which extended to the sum of > two shillings each.Ward, Edward, The London Spy Compleat. 1703. Certainly, the state of the prison was giving considerable cause for concern and, in 1804, an official report said the prison was: > in such a state of decay, as to become inadequate to the safe custody of the > debtors and prisoners therein confined, and extremely dangerous, as well to > the lives of the said debtors and prisoners as to other persons resorting > thereto.
Certain it is, that those of > Vauxhall and Ranelagh, which are guarded only by outward decency, are > conducted without tumult and disorder, which often disturb the public > diversions of France. I do not know whether the English are gainers thereby; > the joy which they seem in search of at those places does not beam through > their countenances; they look as grave at Vauxhall and Ranelagh as at the > Bank, at church, or a private club. All persons there seem to say, what a > young English nobleman said to his governor, Am I as joyous as I should be? The new name Vauxhall Gardens, long in popular use, was made official in 1785. After Boswell's time the admission charge rose steadily: to two shillings in 1792, three-and-sixpence in the early 19th century, and 4/6 in the 1820s.
It is the earliest surviving manuscript to mention homosexuality, but it does so through phrases such as "cut sleeves in the imperial palace", "countenances of linked jade", and "they were like Lord Long Yang", phrases which would not be recognizable as speaking of sexuality of any kind to someone who was not familiar with the literary tradition. While these conventions make explicit mentions of homosexuality rare in Chinese literature in comparison to the Greek or Japanese traditions, the allusions which do exist are given an exalted air by their frequent comparison to former Golden Ages and imperial favorites. A Han Dynasty poem describes the official Zhuang Xin making a nervous pass at his lord, Xiang Cheng of Chu. The ruler is nonplussed at first, but Zhuang justifies his suggestion through allusion to a legendary homosexual figure and then recites a poem in that figure's honor.

The tradition further states that their descendants were plentiful in or about Waimalo and Honouliuli on Oʻahu, and that their appearance and countenances changed by intermarriage with the Hawaiian people.
The Jewish historian Josephus used the term "Sodomites" in summarizing the Genesis narrative: "About this time the Sodomites grew proud, on account of their riches and great wealth; they became unjust towards men, and impious towards God, in so much that they did not call to mind the advantages they received from him: they hated strangers, and abused themselves with Sodomitical practices" "Now when the Sodomites saw the young men to be of beautiful countenances, and this to an extraordinary degree, and that they took up their lodgings with Lot, they resolved themselves to enjoy these beautiful boys by force and violence; and when Lot exhorted them to sobriety, and not to offer any thing immodest to the strangers, but to have regard to their lodging in his house; and promised that if their inclinations could not be governed, he would expose his daughters to their lust, instead of these strangers; neither thus were they made ashamed." (Antiquities 1.11.1,3 — circa AD 96). His assessment goes beyond the Biblical data, though it is seen by conservatives as defining what manner of fornication (Jude 1:7) Sodom was given to.
