What is it called when you say one thing equals another thing? There is a literary term for it but I can't remember what it is. Is is the strongest word in the English language?
"She walks in beauty like the night." No, she is the night.
"A rose called by any other name is still a rose."
And finally, the most powerful of all, the contracted equals:
"She's a real fox."

I don't think so:
"Simile is the comparison of two unlike things using like or as. "
Either Bill or Lester will know. (Thanks, picture-wise).
That's it.
"A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or 'All the world's a stage' (Shakespeare)."
I believe that my next book is going to be called, "LIKE A METAPHOR."
If it's good enough for Drury it is like money in the bank.
analogy could work too...
