“Simile and Metaphor differ only in degree of stylistic refinement. The Simile, in which a comparison is made directly between two objects, belongs to an earlier stage of literary expression; it is the deliberate elaboration of a correspondence, often pursued for its own sake.

—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“I have desired that all my works and acts may be according to his will.”
