Figure of Speech: Simile

Explanation:

Simile is a figure of speech that describes one thing by comparing it with the other by using the words 'like' or 'as'. The comparing elements are unrelated to each other.

This line is extracted from the poem 'Leisure' written by William Henry Davis.

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

As the cows and sheep won't bother and keeps on looking the nature without harming anyone, unless something dangerous is coming towards them, the poet has made the direct comparison with cows and sheep saying human's life is full of worries and anxieties to stand and admire the nature like cows and sheep do.

Here, a direct comparison is made in between humans and cows or sheep.

'Streams full of stars, like skies at night' is one more line from this poem that is described using Simile.
