Percy Shelley: Poems
define the term simile ? Give some example s from "Ode of Skylark".
"Ode of Skylark".
"Ode of Skylark".
A simile is a comparison of one thing with another... the two things being compared are not the some types of things and are compared using the words "like" or "as".
Two examples from the text would be;
The pale purple even
Melts around thy flight;
Like a star of Heaven,
In the broad day-light
To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:
Like a high-born maiden
In a palace-tower
To a Skylark
