Metaphors

I 'm a metaphor, never fully understood,

So I cloaked myself under a very dark hood.

The longer I hold the weaker I get,

I must keep going, I can 't forget.

I must find out who I 've become,

Too afraid to be just anyone.

I can 't hold much longer, I 'm slipping away,

I can 't lose my life, I just can 't today.

There 's so much I still have to do,

  • How Does Emerson Use Figurative Language

    286 Words  | 2 Pages

    To begin, Emerson makes effective use of figurative language such as personification while emphasizing his comparison of nature and the attributes of man. He also uses paradox and with this he accentuates the idea that nature provides wisdom. However, the wisdom it furnishes can only answer so much and we will never fully be reassured of all of which we would like to know. Its infinite knowledge will never fully guide us to that of which we seek. Emerson’s use of paradox allows the audience to contradict the truth and that of what they already believe.
