If,
on the other hand, the name is to be applied to
certain attitudes, or I might say gestures of language,
we must interpret schema in the sense of that which
is poetically or rhetorically altered from the simple
and obvious method of expression. It will then be
true to distinguish between the style which is devoid
of figures (or ἀσχημάτιστος) and that which is adorned
with figures (or ἐσχηματισμένη,).
