Metaphor |
| "a figure of speech by which a thing is spoken of as being that which is only resembles, as when a
ferocious man is called a tiger" ( Chambers's Twentieth Century Dictionary ) "A figure of speech in which a term is transferred from the object it ordinarily designates to an object it may designate only by implicit comparison or analogy, as in the phrase 'evening of life.'" (American Heritage Dictionary) |
