The Safety of the Sea

Group 8

Possible/Impossible, Antimetabole/Chiasmus, Litotes


“I am so foolish!” cried the doe, blind in one eye, who was near the edge of a cliff for the sake of safety. “How could I take such precaution against the land, only to discover that this seashore, to which I had come for safety, was more perilous.” The one-eyed doe had previously only seen hunters on land, so she did not find encountering hunters from the sea possible, but she is disappointed when the sailors capitalize on her disadvantage. The sailors who took careful aim to the doe, and fatally wounded her are not considered hunters, but these hunters are considered sailors.
