Simile

Abirlal Mukherjee (Mukhopadhyay) 1 Comment

Simile is a figure of speech in which an explicit competition between two different things or ideas are made.
Examples of similes

  • The soul was like a star.
  • Like the dew on the mountain…mountains like the bubble on the fountain,Thou art gone,and for ever.
  • Love swells like the Solat but ebbs like it’s tide.
  • He drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimney
  • yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
  • Heavy as frost,and deep almost as life.
