Sentences with TROPE (5)

That we are the breath and similitude of God, it is indisputable, and upon record of Holy Scripture: but to call ourselves a microcosm, or little world, I thought it only a pleasant trope of rhetorick, till my near judgment and second thoughts told me there was a real truth therein.
Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia, and the Letter to a Friend Thomas Browne 2019
