In this case of double inversion, also, we have balance. The balance is more distinctly felt than it was in [Fig. 86]. The attitude is one of stability. This balance is neither axial nor symmetrical, but central.
74. A line balances, in a sense, when its inclinations are balanced.
Fig. 88
This line may be said to be in balance, as it has no inclinations, either to the right or to the left, to suggest instability. The verticals and the horizontals, being stable, look after themselves perfectly well.
Fig. 89
This line has two unbalanced inclinations to the left. It is, therefore, less satisfactory than the line in [Fig. 88], from the point of view of Balance.
