another quiz



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
