Metaphor.....

Metaphor is also a comparison. We do not use “as” or “like”.

Example:

    1. The sea is a hungry dog
    (The Sea )
    Here, the sea is compared to a hungry dog

    2. A violet by a mossy stone.
    ( She dwelt among the untrodden ways )
    Here, Lucy is compared to a violet.

    3. fountain of endless chatter.
    (Leave taking)
    Here, the grandson is compared to a fountain.
