| | Metaphor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Metaphor is present in written language back to the earliest surviving writings. | | | allegory: An extended metaphor in which a story is told to illustrate an important attribute of the subject | | | For example remove the word 'like' from William Shakespeare's simile, "Death lies on her, like an untimely frost," and it becomes "Death lies on her, an untimely frost," which retains almost exactly the same meaning. |

| | Metaphoric Revolution: in quest of a manifesto for governance through metaphor. |
| | She discusses the considerable advantages of using metaphors of God as mother, as lover, and as friend, in contrast to the traditional patriarchal model. | | | Given the key position of poetry as a source of metaphor, as well as the subtlety of insights attributed to poets, one might expect the existence of poetic insights into the problem of governance. | | | Investigation is required into the strengths of this approach and its weakness (possibly as illustrated by Reagan's "evil empire" metaphor). |

| | Poems at the Poetry Free-for-all - Exercise I: Extended Metaphor |
| | A metaphor (and a simile) is the literary use of a concrete object or thing to illustrate a more abstract concept: a lion for courage, a rose for beauty, the ocean for infinity, etc. You have begun with the abstraction, and have not really connected it to anything concrete. | | | Of course, probably the most famous of all extended metaphors in poetry is John Donne's comparison of the souls of the two separated lovers to the two legs of a compass which are not in truth actually ever separated: | | | I'd say this teeters on the verge of metaphor (April/a female), but isn't one, quite, because the notion of a woman posessing her own "breeze" and "racing light" doesn't qualify April in terms of a woman but the other way around. |

| | Poetic Excellence in Gleason’s “After Fighting for Hours” |
| | Because of Gleason’s masterful use of language and metaphor, I believe this is one of the best examples of good poetry found in our book. | | | Although I mentioned earlier that the introductory segment of the poem ends with line 4, a part of the concrete imagery can be seen at the end of line 5, not only smoothing the transition into the middle section, but also completing an image. | | | The divide delineated in the final line is representative of three boundaries that are crossed. |

| | Blake List Archive -- Albion.com |
| | Probably it is impossible now to recreate the type of poetry that Blake wrote, but what he does accomplish is what contemporary poets cannot: he expresses profound ideas metaphorically that could not be expressed any other way. | | | But what Arthur Symmons surely must mean by this, if I understand Blake correctly, is that Blake thought everything was "poetic" and worthy of attaining that kind of seamless, graceful image that the poem can attribute to things. | | | One reason heavily laden poems and literature falls victim to a vampiric deconstruction--which kills the author, the speaker, the sentiment, and the human experience behind a piece of literature leaving nothing but an illogical, dead fallacy of language--is because of an uncarefully thought out metaphor. |

| | In Delmore Schwartz' "The Heavy Bear" the bear is a metaphor for the author's (and everyone's) grosser physical nature. | | | However, the bear in William Faulkner's story of that name is a symbol, because everything in the story points not only to his being tremendous in size, but to his being larger than the bear species itself. | | | He feels as if his soul is parting from his body in an ecstasy. |

| | Glossary of Poetic Terms from BOB'S BYWAY |
| | Misuse or abuse of words; the use of the wrong word for the context, as atone for repent, ingenuous for ingenious, or a forced trope in which a word is used too far removed from its true meaning, as "melancholy table" or Milton's "blind mouth" in Lycidas. | | | A mode of expression in which words are used out of their literal meaning or out of their ordinary use in order to add beauty or emotional intensity or to transfer the poet's sense impressions by comparing or identifying one thing with another that has a meaning familiar to the reader. | | | Sidelight: Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar," demonstrates the effectiveness of this device: metaphorically, he compares a sandbar in the Thames River over which ships cannot pass until high tide, with the natural time for completion of his own life's journey from birth to death. |

| | The UVic Writer's Guide: Metaphor |
| | In an implicit metaphor, the tenor (subject) is not specified but implied: for instance, one may say "I'm burning" with the intended implication that the consuming flame is love. | | | Whereas a simile states, "My love is like a burning flame," a metaphor refers to "the burning flame of my love." An extended metaphor explores a variety of ways in which a metaphor is appropriate to its subject (see conceit). | | | A metaphor is distinguished from a simile in that it equates different things without using connecting terms such as like or as. |
