achilles
Achilles absent, was Achilles still. [ Homer ]
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. [ Tennyson ]
Authors now find, as once Achilles found, the whole is mortal if a part's unsound. [ Young ]
To reveal imprudently the spot where we are most sensitive and vulnerable is to invite a blow. The demigod Achilles admitted no one to his confidence. [ Madame Swetchine ]
