One can see the devotion of Ravana towards lord shiva going through the lyrics of Shiva Tandava Stotram. One can see how great Lord Shiva is from the words of Ravana in this Shiva Stotram, who himself was one of the most powerful beings in that era.

When will I be able to worship that eternal shiva,With a feeling of equanimity towards snake and a garland,Towards great gems and dirt or friends and enemies,Or Towards a blade of grass and lotus like eyes,Or emperor and ordinary men.
