ARISTOTLE 85
* Lycolcon in behalf of Chabrias, " not awed even by
that symbol of his supplication, the bronze image," which
a metaphor at the time when it was used, although
not a permanent one, as it is only
in the hour of his
peril that the statue can be said to supplicate, but a vivid
metaphor, arising jrom f the supposed animation of the inanimate
memorial of the services he had rendered to the State.
"
Or again practising in every way meanness of "
spirit is a
metaphor, as practising is a species of increasing. Or the
saying that " God lit
up the light of reason in the soul," both
light and reason being means of illumination. Or again
e are not putting an end to the wars but only putting
them otT," which is a metaphor, as postponement and such a
a> is described are both merely means of delay. Or
again, we if say that " the treaty is a very far finer trophy
than those won in war; for that is commemorative of a trilling
ss and a single chance, whereas the treaty commemoihc
issue oj a whole war " ;
for both are signals of victory.
Or A/V//V i.r // say that States ||
"pay a heavy reckoning in the
ire of mankind "; for the audit or reckoning
is a sort of
legal damage.
