Capturing the imagination

Anyways, something that captures our imagination is something that strikes a chord, so to speak, something we cannot forget after a long time.

Bob Dylan, for example, certainly succeeded when he wrote Blowing in the Wind. His singing deserves a lot of credit for making this song a lasting favorite, but the lyrics themselves must have helped to capture the imagination of generations.

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they’re forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind

The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

….

See?

Alright, here are media examples for you to see the phrase in action:

1. The battle for the SA burger-share-of-mouth is hotting up, with news that we could soon be snacking on Big Whoppers - Burger King has said it is assessing opportunities in SA as sluggish economic growth in its US home market continues to hamper sales, making emerging markets look more attractive.

“We are currently assessing the opportunity in SA for the Burger King brand,” says the Florida-based company, according to a Business Day report.

Burger King adds that it continuously reviews its “worldwide restaurant portfolio in the course of business. We make strategic decisions based on many factors, including development opportunities, market conditions and restaurant profitability.”
