Whose virtues will, I hope, Reflect on Rome, as Titan's rays on
earth.
Shak.
3. To throw or turn back the thoughts upon anything; to contemplate.
Specifically: To attend earnestly to what passes within the mind; to
attend to the facts or phenomena of consciousness; to use attention or
earnest thought; to meditate; especially, to think in relation to moral
truth or rules.
We can not be said to reflect upon any external object, except so
far as that object has been previously perceived, and its image
become part and parcel of our intellectual furniture.
Sir W. Hamilton.
All men are concious of the operations of their own minds, at all
times, while they are awake, but there few who reflect upon them,
or make them objects of thought.
Reid.
As I much reflected, much I mourned.
Prior.
