 * Literate, you mean? A similie is a comparison. A metaphor is a non-literal application of a word. e.g. "He is an ass" is a metaphor. "He's as dumb as an ass" is a similie. Mr. Jones 02:47, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Why does it say "non-physical link between separate objects" in the John Donne example? &lt;KF&gt; 23:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
