      I have only to add, that these analogies are the material, or (to speak chemically) the base, of Symbols and symbolical expressions; the nature of which is always tautegorical, that is, expressing the same subject but with a difference, in contradistinction from metaphors and similitudes, that are always allegorical, that is, expressing a different subject but with a resemblance.
