Do we not here discern analogies to the first stages of human societies? Among the lowest races, as the Bushmen, we find but incipient aggregation: sometimes single families, sometimes two or three families wandering about together. The number of associated units is small and variable, and their union inconstant.
These analogies, then, when unconsciously alluded to by his daughter, brought tears to her eyes, and he felt that the very grief she evinced was an indirect reproach to himself. "Now," he exclaimed, after she had gone, "it is clear, I think, that the girl entertains something more than a mere moral objection to this match.
Dominated as our political thought is by Roman and feudal imagery hypnotised by symbols and analogies which the necessary development of organised society has rendered obsolete the ideals even of democracies are still often pure abstractions, divorced from any aim calculated to advance the moral or material betterment of mankind.
They discovered the striking analogies between certain natural phenomena or processes and the phenomena and processes of their own nature; they discovered the tasks and wanderings of the sun, and they perceived the singular resemblance of these tasks and wanderings to the happenings of their own lives.

It is, in our opinion, in conflict alike with the progress of civilization, the spirit of democracy, the principles of social justice, and the analogies and tendencies of law.
The beach was excellently white, the continuous barrier of trees inimitably green; the land perhaps ten feet high, the trees thirty more. He tortured himself to find analogies.
But in the mass of the unconventional one finds here and there, like nuggets of gold in sand, the true reformers of the world. The "poseurs" in custom have their analogies in the pompous, over-dignified and over-important; the affected, in a word.
