Cloak/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:

    Hidden by old age awhile
    In masker’s cloak and hood,
    Each hating what the other loved,
    Face to face we stood:
    “That I have met with such,” said he,
    “Bodes me little good.”
    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)
