In William Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet </em>(Act 3, Scene 5), Capulet and the nurse enter the stage and he starts talking to Lady Capulet about how she cries nonstop. She compares her and her little body to a ship, the sea and the wind. He goes on to say that if she doesn't stop crying soon, her raging wind (sighs) and the sea (her eyes overflowing with tears) are going to sink her ship (her body).

The sentence I would choose is: "He was looking down at his outstretched hands as he talked". To me, it implies that he cannot look into the eyes of the person he is speaking to, as if he doesn't feel he is worthy.
