- The first seven bead appositions led to spikes in the fiber position that represent adhesive events of varying duration.
- These connections consisted of close appositions between nonspecialized areas of the plasma membranes of the 2 cells.

- Thus, the expression of these two genes occurs independently in mesoderm and ectoderm without the close apposition of these two tissues that normally occurs in embryos in vivo.

- You find, if you change a direction, you get an opposition and an apposition, which creates an irony, which creates a metaphor.
- When for instance in a span of three pages we read ‘The darkness, a magician,’ ‘memory, an old flautist,’ and ‘Love, a one-legged bird’ his odd metaphorical appositions come to seem more mannered than inspired.
