    ‘Sunlight on the garden’ by Louis MacNeice It starts to become apparent that MacNeice talks about the finality of death.

    norms and values of the living beings. According to Mats Slvesson‚ an appealing metaphor may stand in the way of a less elegant but more accurate and elaborate description. In my opinion‚ the metaphors employed will not always illuminate the researchers’ basic view of the phenomenon.

    The use of metaphors are an important factor with any piece of literature. Metaphors add color to creative writings‚ also establishing depth.

    As regards what I mean by metaphor‚ I want to stress how I am employing this concept borrowing on Soskice’s claim that we should understand metaphors just as a way of using our language. Therefore‚ models‚ allegories‚ symbols‚ may elicit or connect to metaphoric language‚ but are different from metaphors as they have a non-linguistic nature.
