Answer :
Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'metaphor' as 'an expression, often found in literature, that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to have similar characteristics to that person or object.'
In the given lines from the poem “Fog,” Carl Sandburg uses metaphor to compare the fog with a cat. The silent approach of the fog is compared to a cat silently walking on little feet. Just like the cat sits eyeing the harbor and the city and then walks away, the fog covers the atmosphere over the harbor and city and then gradually disappears.
