“Young people are dazzled by the brilliancy of antithesis, and employ it. Matter-of-fact men, and those who like precision, naturally fall into comparisons and metaphor. Sprightly natures, full of fire, and whom a boundless imagination carries beyond all rules, and even what is reasonable, cannot rest satisfied even with hyperbole. As for the sublime, it is only great geniuses and those of the very highest order that are able to rise to its height.” PeopleMenMatterFactsAbleYoungOrderFallImaginationFireStyleGeniusHighestMetaphorSatisfiedHeightReasonableComparisonCarrieSublimeBoundlessPrecisionMatter Of FactAntithesisHyperbole Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“Roque...lined his men up and had them produce all the clothing, jewels, money, and other objects that they had stolen since the last time they had divided the spoils. Having made a hasty appraisal and reduced to terms of money those items that could not be divided, he split the whole into shares with such equity and exactitude that in not a single instance did he go beyond or fall short of a strict distributive justice. They were all well satisfied with the payment received, indeed they were quite well pleased; and Roque then turned to Don Quixote.” MenWellsMadeWholeWisdomLastsFallTermJusticeShareObjectsProduceSatisfiedInstanceDividedClothingsSplitsLast TimeStrictJewelsEquityStolenItemsSpoilPaymentHastyAppraisalExactitude Author:Miguel de Cervantes
