Metaphor in Context
And as for the Bipartition of this Sensitive Soul into two principle members as it were, or active sourses; vix. the Fiery part, upon which Life depends; and the Lucid, from whence all the faculties Animal are, like so many distinct rayes of light, derived: I will not affirm it to be very ancient: but yet methinks, I discern more than a shadow thereof in some lines of the same most acute Lord Bacon (de vita & morte, explicatione canonis quartae) which are these.
