Give an example of metaphor from this poem
Answers
Answer:
In the first two lines
"I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree. "
Here a comparison of poem has been done with a tree.
The comparison has been done with the use of word 'as'.
So the figure of speech is Simile.
In the second phrase
"A tree whose hungry
mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's
flowing breast"
Here a comparison of earth has been done with a flowing breast.
The comparison has been done without the use of word 'as' or 'like'.
So the figure of speech is Metaphor.
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two things. Similes differ from metaphors by highlighting the similarities between two things that must use "like" and "as", while metaphors create an implicit comparison.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas. Metaphors are often compared with other types of figurative language.
