2.226

Among those, occurring in a low animal, as in: / 'Lay your eggs on the ocean shore; do not be apprehensive in your mind! / This ocean knows me to be a sandpiper fond of bold deeds.'

2.226.p1

Here, when his wife is apprehensive, thinking, 'If I lay eggs on the sea shore, my offspring will be swept away by waves surging past their limits,' a certain sandpiper—a species of bird—feels pride. Since this pride resides in a low animal, being a semblance, it is not exceedingly delightful.
