BRAVE NEW WORLD Chapter 7 begins with a striking simile: “The mesa was like a ship becalmed in a strait of lion-coloured dust.” The ship metaphor continues for several paragraphs. It has a “prow,” a “gunwale,” and a “deck,” and it is situated in the middle of a “strait.” Bernard and Lenina are used to traveling in helicopters and may never have even seen a ship. Why does Huxley begin the visit to the Reservation with the image of a stone ship?
