Excerpt from The Characteristics and Laws of Figurative Language
A Figure of Speech is a mode of expression in which a. Word or thing is used in an artificial manner, in order to a. More forcible presentation of thought, or the illustration and embellishment of that to which it is applied. Thus in the sentence the clouds fly - there is a figure in the use of the verb, which properly denotes the movement of a Bird or insect by its wings, but is applied by a metaphor to the clouds home forward by the wind, to express more clearly and strongly the ease and rapidity of their motion, and makes the phrase equivalent to a comparison of their movement to that of a. Bird; as in the simile - the clouds move like a bird; or they are home on as though they moved by wings.
