Ginny!

'Oh, God, send down fire from heaven to consume the blasphemer,' said Lawson. 'What has nature got to do with it? No one knows what's in nature and what isn't! The world sees nature through the eyes of the artist. Why, for centuries it saw horses jumping a fence with all their legs extended, and by Heaven, sir, they were extended. It saw shadows black until Monet discovered they were coloured, and by Heaven, sir, they were black. If we choose to surround objects with a black line, the world will see the black line, and there will be a black line; and if we paint grass red and cows blue, it'll see them red and blue, and, by Heaven, they will be red and blue.'

'To hell with art,' murmured Flanagan. 'I want to get ginny.'

--W. Somerset Maugham Of Human Bondage


Is it just me, or does that sound a lot like Lakoff's conceptual metaphor theory?
Further, I think Flanagan's response mirrors my own when I hear someone earnestly discourse on the topic.
