[6]
The metaphor appears apt enough, since it is that which desires what is
disgraceful and whose appetites grow apace that needs chastisement or pruning,1 and this description
applies in the fullest degree to desire, as it does to the child. For children, like
profligates, live at the prompting of desire; and the appetite for pleasure is strongest
in childhood, so that if it be not disciplined and made obedient to authority, it will
make great headway.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
