Take

-How rarely did other people's faces take of you?

TAKE OF is not found in dictionaries, nor in google; what does TAKE OF mean?
  

Top answer

The sentence doesn't mean anything -- something must be missing or mis-typed. Where did you find it? "Take of" is not a meaningful phrase.

OttoJWould this help shed light?
Yes. It's always a good idea to quote a complete sentence rather than a fragment.

'From' would be a more natural preposition than 'of' in that sentence, in my opinion. The object of both 'take' and 'throw' is 'your own expression, your own innermost trembling thought'.

If by "give" here you mean "throw back," then I think you're right! What a convoluted sentence!

Thanks. I meant 'throw', and have now corrected this.
