Bernard Shaw. We may take it, I think, that the architectural analogy holds good of every play which can properly be said to be "constructed." Construction means dramatic architecture, or in other words, a careful pre-arrangement of proportions and interdependencies. But to carry beyond this point the analogy between the two arts would be fantastic and unhelpful.
One can only judge by analogy, and it would seem that it is a frustrated desire that makes the majority of villains. But the news coming, thus too late, only served an evil purpose.
A courier's or a dragoman's speech may indeed be often unusual and drawn from disparate sources, not without some mixture of personal originality; but that private jargon will have a meaning only because of its analogy to one or more conventional languages and its obvious derivation from them.
We may suspect that this digression was induced by a supposed analogy in the king of Israel's lot to the author's conduct in Galilee, when, as he claimed, he fought on though knowing the hopelessness of resistance. The next book is taken up entirely with the reign of David, and contains little that is noteworthy.
Naturalists tell us that these insects are divided into males and females, and a third class called workers and soldiers, who have no reproductive apparatus, and who, in their structure and instincts, are unlike the fertile individuals. A closer analogy than this, however, exists between these human individuals and the eunuchs of Oriental civilization.
He knew the name of the river in Monmouth, and he did not know the name of the river in Macedon, but he insisted upon the analogy between them because there were salmon in both. Well, Sir, I now come to the noble Lord at the head of the Government. I do not complain that he is at the head of the Government.
Here, by the sarcasm of destiny, I encountered the person who had drawn the slighting analogy between this one's pig-tail and his ability as a story-teller.
Undertake to do your thinking in a foreign tongue, of which you have but a limited knowledge: the attempt is discouraging. The deaf mute thinks in signs. This, his only vehicle of thought, is a hindrance instead of a help in learning written language, there being no analogy whatever between the two methods of expressing ideas.
"Not exactly, but the analogy will do. If your husband were to find gold of any kind on one of our 'islands' within the maharajah's territory, his contract with the maharajah would be useless." "Are the boundaries of the islands clearly marked?" "Not very. They're known, of course, and recorded.
To call it "rickets" is to place an undue emphasis upon the bony changes which, though common, are by no means invariable. Elsewhere I have suggested the name status catarrhalis, on an analogy with the name status lymphaticus, which in the post-mortem room is used to describe the secondary overgrowth of lymphatic tissue which is found in these catarrhal children.
