The figurative meaning of this quote is when Beatty is talking to Montag he makes an Allusion to the Greek mythology, Icarus. Beatty made this Allusion to Montag for a few reasons. One of those reasons is that Beatty thinks that Montag was getting brash and overexcited so he was becoming more and more careless. Even with Beatty's warnings, Montag still got books and even showed people them. This is similar to Icarus because Daedalus, Icarus' father warned him but Icarus ignored him and flew to high to the sun and then died.
