一个圣经引述。出自《圣经旧约》中《列王纪下》5：15-18，原意为“拜倒在伪神临门脚下”，常用来喻指“拜倒在金钱脚下”，在此处用来暗指“邱吉尔一贯反对共产主义，这样做是否改变了他以前的立场、观点或态度”。表面上与传统教或风俗一致，实际做起来保守由于政治目的，Rimmon是大马士革叙利亚人崇拜的神。

注意此大段中的重复修辞手段和排比修辞手法的并用。作者重复使用了七个并行的Isee…

的句子来描写纳粹进攻苏联时的情景，从而可看出邱吉尔此时的观点、立场所在，表明了他支持、同情苏联的军队和人民，愤怒地抨击了纳粹德国那种疯狂、野蛮的侵略行径。作者重复使用Isee…增强了话语的气势，给人一气呵成字之感，而且有助于感情的宣泄。
