get a likeness

“I have to spend time with them to get a likeness.”

"When you get a likeness, people do often cry because that person isn't around anymore."

No, not the whole of you, of course, though I'm not clever enough to get a likeness even if I wished.

Let that pure face shine upon heart and spirit, and as the sun photographs itself on the sensitive plate exposed to its light, and you get a likeness of the sun by simply laying the thing in the sun, so He will ‘be formed in, you.’

I have told you how you may, and how people who are married do, get a likeness of countenance; and in that I have done it.
