He swung himself from the saddle, tied a loose rein to a scrub oak, and clambered up the bank.

No figment of imagination, but the glowing reality of flesh and blood, awaited him.
That there were libertines among the Greeks, as everywhere else, goes without saying; but the conception that the Greek rule of life was to follow impulse and abandon restraint is a figment of would-be "Hellenists" of our own time.
AHASVERUS. Are you not deceiving me? You, Prometheus? Was that not, then, a figment of the ancient imagination? PROMETHEUS. Look well at me; touch these hands. See whether I really exist. AHASVERUS.

The centre of every man's existence is a dream.
He is no mere figment of fancy, but rather a noble reality whose prototype may be found on the bench, in the forum, in the study, in the sanctum, in the school and the college, in the factory, on the farm, and in the busy mart. And, withal, he is a success as a human being. His sincerity is proverbial in all things, both great and small.
