Which rhetorical device in this excerpt from g. k. chestertons the fallacy of success

The answer is Allusion,

All together for it, two be a similarity, it would haft to contrast two things to making another thought. In any case, I trust this entry is just referencing one thought, one that is broadly known, so as to make a correlation on our present lives/time.

The generally known reference: King Midas. "The Greeks cherished it in the account of Midas, of the 'Brilliant Touch.' Here was a man who transformed all that he laid his hands upon into gold."

"Sadly, be that as it may, Midas could come up short; he did. His way did not lead unerringly upward. He starved on the grounds that at whatever point he contacted a scone or a ham sandwich it swung to gold."

The correlation with our lives: " 'A fact,' state we of today. We as a whole know about such men. We are regularly meeting or finding out about such people who transform all that they contact into gold. Achievement hounds their very strides. Their life's pathway leads unerringly upwards. They can't fall flat."

it states the claim

two words that "tired" are "weary" and "rest".
