Flight-Lieutenant R. G. Sims descriptions of T. E. Shaws voice. Taken from "T. E. Lawrence by his friends" edited by A. W. Lawrence.
Pages 549, 551, 552
"... He spoke in a very low distinct voice —I have never heard him speak otherwise — but there was no question that any officer could speak to him, or get him to speak, except on the business for which he had appeared.
Several times after this I spoke about Service matters to him on the telephone, and I loved to hear that beautifully quiet, distinct voice answering with ‘Bridlington R.A.F. detachment, A.C, Shaw speaking’. Then he would answer very politely, giving the information required in the fullest manner, and the fewest possible words, calling me ‘sir’ most meticulously at every sentence. I never heard him address an officer otherwise."
"... He then said: ‘Ah, yes. Cobble built, repaired with brick facings, about sixteenth or early seventeenth century. Nice cottage.’ He had an attractive way of saying Yes, slightly biting the first part, and making the end a little bit sibilant. His voice and choice of words were both quite perfect."
"... Words cannot describe the terrific charm of T.E. He walked as on silent wheels, perfectly smoothly, without any perceptible jolt. In fact, he made no noise at all. I never heard him clear his throat, cough, sneeze, or even splash about in the bathroom. His voice was particularly quiet, but so clearly did he speak that one never lost a syllable. ..."

In “Lawrence of Arabia,” David Lean often frames the protagonist, T.E. Lawrence, as a mythic figure, and nowhere is that clearer than in this shot. Cloaked and wind-swept, Lawrence looms larger than life against the blinding sun—his silhouette rendered iconic, almost godlike. The low-angle framing is deliberate, a classic visual shorthand for power and heroism, but Lean injects more layers into this composition. By dwarfing Lawrence against the infinite sky, the film builds a tension between grandeur and fragility: he’s both monumental and insignificant, swallowed by the desert that defines him. The sunlight bleeds through his robes, softening his edges, as though the man himself is already becoming legend. It’s not just a shot of a hero; it’s the careful construction of myth.
