Feeling without judgement is a washy draught indeed; but judgement untempered by feeling is too bitter and husky a morsel for human deglutition.
– Charlotte Bronte
Jane Eyre, Chapter 21. Jane uses metaphorical language to compare her two cousins Georgiana and Eliza Reed. The frivolous and shallow Georgiana is the “washy draught,” while the judgemental Eliza is the “bitter and husky” morsel.
