ABSTRACT
Gregorius : The ear is tickled in an unseemly way by such erotic tricks of expression as are found in Anacreon and Sappho, as for instance :—
(c) (a girl) Whiter than milk ; (d) ,, Softer than water ; (e) ,, More tuneful than the lyre ; (/) ,, Daintier than roses ; (g) ,, Softer than silk ; (h) „ More precious than gold. (i) (A thing) More tender than a narcissus.
