錢鍾書就說過比喻其實也有好壞、正反之別：「同此事物，授為比喻，或以褒，或以貶，或示喜，或示惡，詞氣迥異；修詞之學，亟宜拈示。斯多噶派哲人嘗曰：『萬物各有二柄』(Everything has two handles)，人手當擇所執。」
Everything has two handles, the one by which it may be carried, the other by which it cannot. If your brother acts unjustly, don't lay hold on the action by the handle of his injustice, for by that it cannot be carried; but by the opposite, that he is your brother, that he was brought up with you; and thus you will lay hold on it, as it is to be carried. (43).
Epictetus (c. 55 – c. 135 AD) was a GreekStoicphilosopher. The name given by his parents, if one was given, is not known. The word epiktetos in Greek simply means "acquired".

“Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood.” - from RUNAWAY HORSES
Yukio Mishima's THE TEMPLE OF THE GOLDEN PAVILION was first published by Alfred A. Knopf today in 1959. “Yet how strange a thing is the beauty of music! The brief beauty that the player brings into being transforms a given period of time into pure continuance; it is certain never to be repeated; like the existence of dayflies and other such short-lived creatures, beauty is a perfect abstraction and creation of life itself. Nothing is so similar to life as music.” http://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/…/the-temple-of-the-gold…/
Yukio Mishima was born on this day, January 14, in 1925. "Perfect purity is possible if you turn your life into a line of poetry written with a splash of blood." —Yukio Mishima, Runaway Horses
"What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed." --from "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" by Yukio Mishima
In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, celebrated Japanese novelist Yukio Mishima creates a haunting portrait of a young man’s obsession with idealized beauty and his destructive quest to possess it fully. Mizoguchi, an ostracized stutterer, develops a childhood fascination with Kyoto’s famous Golden Temple. While an acolyte at the temple, he fixates on the structure’s aesthetic perfection and it becomes his one and only object of desire. But as Mizoguchi begins to perceive flaws in the temple, he determines that the only true path to beauty lies in an act of horrific violence. Based on a real incident that occurred in 1950, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion brilliantly portrays the passions and agonies of a young man in postwar Japan, bringing to the subject the erotic imagination and instinct for the dramatic moment that marked Mishima as one of the towering makers of modern fiction. With an introduction by Donald Keene; Translated from the Japanese by Ivan Morris.

The Temple of the Golden Pavilion (金閣寺Kinkaku-ji) is a novel by the Japanese author Yukio Mishima. It was published in 1956 and translated into English by Ivan Morris in 1959.
The novel is loosely based on the burning of the Reliquary (or Golden Pavilion) of Kinkaku-jiin Kyoto by a young Buddhist acolyte in 1950. The pavilion, dating from before 1400, was a national monument that had been spared destruction many times throughout history, and the arson shocked Japan.
