The Allegory of the Cave, also commonly known as Myth of the Cave, Metaphor of the Cave, The Cave Analogy, or the Parable of the Cave, is an allegory used by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work The Republic to illustrate "our nature in its education and want of education". (514a) The allegory of the cave is written as a fictional dialogue between Plato's teacher Socrates and Plato's brother Glaucon, at the beginning of Book VII (514a520a). Plato imagines a group of people who have lived chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of the cave entrance, and begin to ascribe forms to these shadows. According to Plato, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to seeing reality. He then explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not constitutive of reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. The Allegory is related to Plato's Theory of Forms,[1] wherein Plato asserts that "Forms" (or "Ideas"), and not the material world of change known to us through sensation, possess the highest and most fundamental kind of reality. Only knowledge of the Forms constitutes real knowledge.[2] In addition, the allegory of the cave is an attempt to explain the philosopher's place in society. The Allegory of the Cave is related to Plato's metaphor .... + Informações

Metamorphic Allegory Picture now a vengeful dove flapping frightfully above Visualize its righteous tears as spitting feathers it appears Hark now hear its puffed up roar as it struts proudly round the floor Wonder now as it transmutes its pigeon toes in polished boots Vainglorious in well preened suit with beaky nose it cocks a snoot Tumescent now with self esteem it knows itself to be supreme Devouring an old Vulgate it preachifies in fearsome spate Lashing with its new found tongue it scourges fit to burst a lung Pity all those in its view as brimstone vomit it doth spew Pity too the monstrous crow for what it does it does not know Forsaking love espoused to hate a hellish future must await Imagine all eternity wracked by wrath and never free Mark Shepherd 2008 dashpoet nb.

So I downloaded the arranged soundtrack to KOF '97 this morning and I found this song called "Storm Allegory." Basically, it's a song featuring Kunihiko Yasui (Iori Yagami's voice actor) on vocals while in character. The song is very somber for the most part, and the lyrics are mostly in Japanese except for a few English words "Don't break my soul woah woah tonight," but it's a great song none the less. If anyone can find the lyrics to the song and a translation please PM me with it and I'll post it in this description. Kunihiko reminds me of the lead vocalist for Moonspell. If for some reason he leaves the band, they should call this guy up. He just needs to learn Portuguese. Lyrics provided by Userguape: Japanese: Kurai roji ura miageta yozora ni Hoshi ga hitotsubu koborete iru Tozashita kankaku o sora? e hanatsu Mukashi no hikari de terashite kure Kono mama hitori kieru mo ii Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Kawaita kaze to surechigau Sabita puraido korogaru rakugaki Yaseta mikazuki yoru ni ukabu Toraeta eien wa sono ba kagiri Yoake ga tooku de kowarete? yuku Dokokade hitori nageku mo ii Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Tsumetai kumo ga nagareteku Kono mama hitori kieru mo ii Don't break my soul whoa whoa tonight Kaze ga otoshita aregorii?
