The axiom comes from La Fontaine's fable of the rat who thought to devour an oyster. The oyster clamped down on his attacker. In this colorful scene, the groom thinks he is capturing the bride, but the second scene shows the reverse. As I looked through various translations of the axiom, I settled on this one as the best: "Now the hunted becomes the hunter." But should not the terms be reversed? The hunter has become the hunted!
