Metaphors embody and configure both the abiding and the changing
preoccupations of an age. (Barbara M. Stafford, Body Criticism: Imaging

Metaphor:
a way of understanding something. "Many kinds of understanding can be
seen as explanation . . . Often an explanation can be found by seeing
one object or event as similar to another in a way that was not
previously noticed, in other words, by making up and using a novel
analogy (Kurzweill 395)." An analogy is, of course, a type of metaphor.
In a metaphor, one of the terms may be absent (and we need to guess what
it is) or both terms may be present. We can substitute terms in the
metaphor and thus create novel metaphors. This structure, that operates
by using a method which will take shape as I go, will create novel
metaphors from elements of text that it selects and fuses according to
certain principles. The first principle is pattern recognition
(identifying elements that repeat). -Tony Veale
