Metaphor in Context
Mon Dieu! said Mons. Dessein-- I have no interest--Except the interest, said I, which men of a certain turn of mind take, Mons. Dessein, in their own sensations--I'm persuaded, to a man who feels for others as well as for himself, every rainy night, disguise it as you will, must cast a damp upon your spirits--You suffer, Mons. Dessein, as much as the machine--
