Of years, but as historical criticism

MARITIME EXPRESSIONS.
Used In a M%etaphorical Sense They
Are Quite Common.

ARE SuIIC SSIIlIIlOus !
MariAue expressions used metaphor
ically are, in fact. very common. we
say a couple are 'spiiccd.' Il young
man is the ''mainstay" of his family
an intruder puts his oar in Il mar is
"hard up sometimes taken aback'
or has 1.-THE wind taken out OF his
sails" Il topper is "slcwed," a loafcr
"spins a warm sometimes tries the
other tack,' ana Il ruler steers the
ship Of state through troublesome
times.
This last metaphor is extremely Ana
cient, by the way. Horace refers to.
Rome rs a ship ut sea, and Plntarch
says the Delphic oracle referred to
Athens in the same way. \ Tamil
saying embolics "a like metaphor. "Thc
soul is the ship. reason is the helm,
the oars are the souls thoughts. and1
truth is the port" An old collection
of English proverbs contains this one:
The tongue is the rudder of our ship
A Malay maxim says, ''The boat which
is swAmned at sea may he bailed out.
but the shipwreck of the affections is
final"
.Aristophanes. Plautus and others use
an expression which comes down to
