“Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?”
Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? — the metaphor of the spring (pēgē) that produces only one type of water establishes a natural law: a source cannot simultaneously yield opposing products. The spring is a unified source, and its yield reflects its nature. Implicitly, if a person's speech is divided, this reveals a divided nature requiring transformation.
