An example of a scientist's analogy
"The chemist has proved that we are built of shapen material, just as our houses are built of bricks, usually 9in ✕ 4in ✕ 3in, which can only be put together in a certain limited number of ways."
Armstrong, H. E. (1924) in H. E. Armstrong and the teaching of science 1880-1930 (Ed.: W H Brock, 1973), Cambridge University Press
