Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Time for the First Annual Holiday Season Figures of Speech Quiz
(you supply the hyphens). This is a tough one, taken from verse 19 of
the *Encomium of Helen* by the sophist Gorgias.
"But if it is a disease of human origin and a fault of the soul,
it should not be blamed as a sin, but regarded as an affliction."
(translated by Rosamond Kent Sprague)
Of course, this sentence has the feel of antithesis, but I am
looking for something else. Guess the figure of speech and win a swell prize.
Warm regards,
Carl W. Glover
