I like these Metaphors of the body applied to reading.
"Talks to Freshman Girls"
Helen Dawes Brown
Pr'ythee, Belford, forgive my nonsense, and my Vulcan-like Metaphors-Did I not tell thee, not that I am sick of love, but that I am mad with it?
"Clarissa, Volume 5 (of 9)"
Samuel Richardson
Or, in plainer language, Metaphors having been blowed in obedience to a probable wish of the reader's, how do we know Sally was not falling in love with the doctor?
"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
