Aristotle thought eels
"the entrails of the earth."
If "eels" were replaced with
"politicians" this image
would be a guideway
to a sign. Instead,
it's an instance of
converting Metaphors
into Proprieties. And so Browne
doubted Aristotle's leap
into Euripus.
For not understanding tide's
motion, Aristotle recognized
the "imbecility" of reason.
