Sometimes, as in steel, those invisible forces are strong, and the larger object holds together.

Some distant object on the side fence attracted and held his attention.

Not just time stopped, which is the condition imposed by all photographs, but objects held in a kind of supreme suspension.

That object held the key to the end of the drama, the last confrontation.

It also comes from the discovery that a transparent object can hold so much surprise.

A caller would try to guess whether or not the object would hold.

As she had been hypnotized by the driving before, now the object held her attention.

The state an object holds is always private to that object.

She took another step toward him, the object held menacingly in front of her.

It is as if the walls and the objects placed within the individual tableaux hold the spirit of the person depicted.
