Cloak/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:

    Now I am in the public house and lean upon the wall,
    So come in rags or come in silk, in cloak or country shawl,
    And come with learned lovers or with what men you may
    For I can put the whole lot down, and all I have to say
    Is fol de rol de rolly O.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The world is emblematic. Parts of speech are metaphors, because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
