Astrologically the correspondence is perfect, and so thinly disguised as to need no explanation. IX. Sagittarius "Him Centaur follows with an aiming eye, His bow full-drawn, and ready to let fly." Deeper and deeper sinks the soul into material forms.
There, for one fateful moment, he stands erect, his whole tense body like the full-drawn bow before it speeds the arrow home. He throws: and then, for some desperate minutes, it is often a fight to a finish between the whale's life and his own. The old wooden whaling vessel under mast and sail is almost extinct.

But the King neither gave back nor raised his voice.
Stretching his Gandiva of loud twang and fiercely striking his palms with her bow-string, he suddenly created a darkness by means of his arrows and destroyed large numbers of men and steeds and cars and standards. With his full-drawn bow, Arjuna looked resplendent.
His fingers still continued mechanically to beat time upon the table, and still his head nodded sympathetically to the music; his eyelids closed in sleep; and as the last verse concluded, a full-drawn snore announced that Monsoon, if not in the land of dreams, was at least in a happy oblivion of all terrestrial concerns, and caring as little for the woes of green Erin and the altered fortunes of the Free family as any Saxon that ever oppressed them.
