The 'orange monster' isn't a real monster -- it's just a metaphor. In a way,
it's a brilliant way for the artist to express what's needed without using
a single descriptive word. And the color of the face(s) is just a red
herring -- it's not relevant.
This kind of "light fibbing" to children is very common in Korea -- there's
even a folktale involving a tiger and a dried persimmon built around this

发帖数: 11621 | 5 "The birds and the bees" is an English-language idiomatic expression that
refers to courtship and sexual intercourse, and is usually used in reference
to teaching someone, often a young child, about sex and pregnancy. The
phrase is evocative of the metaphors and euphemisms often used to avoid
speaking openly and technically about the subject.

that “you needed to awaken a seed that’s within gold to cause it to grow—
just like when a farmer takes seeds and puts them in the ground and waters
them, he gets more seeds back in the harvest.” This group of alchemists
therefore used a lot of agricultural metaphors and imagery in their writings
and drawings. |

Hummingbird
To see hummingbirds in your dream suggest that seemingly small ideas
and concepts can possess much potential and power. Alternatively,
it symbolizes your flighty thoughts and frivolous ideas.
The hummingbird may also be seen as a metaphor for your inability

我是个很少做梦的人，一向清醒而现实地活着。也许是美国鬼节的气场太过强大，昨晚
一直处于半梦半醒之间，见到一些久远年代的朋友和亲人。有时候我醒了，睁开眼睛，
仿佛他们都还在；等我终于相信这一切都是真实的时候，却又在无意识中昏昏睡去。就
这样，醒了又睡，反复若干次。凌晨的时候外面起了风，谁家的窗户忘了关，在那里咣
咣地抱怨。终于我完全醒了，索性开了窗，站到了阳台外，正是黎明前最为黑暗的时候
。我巡视四方，什么也看不到，也许，过完一年一度的鬼节的幽灵们该回家了。微冷，
我回到床上，裹了被子盘膝坐下，静静地守候黎明。
又，想起以前读过的一篇文章，很是符合昨晚的心境。

Poetry is full of metaphors, ambivalent interpretation, symbols and
representation... Writing poetry is to explore the various hues of the world
, over there, everything flows in a stream of melodious sound...
There is a good poem by Baudelaire. Share one down.
自然是座庙宇，那里活的柱子
有时说出了模模糊糊的话音；
人从那里过，穿越象征的森林，
森林用熟识的目光将他注视。
如同悠长的回声遥遥地回合
在一个混沌深邃的统一体中
广大浩漫好像黑夜连着光明——
芳香、颜色和声音在相互应和。
有的芳香新鲜若儿童的肌肤，
柔和如双簧管，青翠如绿草场，
——别的则朽腐、浓郁，涵盖了万物，
像无极无限的东西四散飞扬，
如同龙涎香、麝香、安息香、乳香
那样歌唱精神与感觉的激昂。 |

发帖数: 986 | 27 朱光潜先生在他的著作诗论的第二章，就诗与隐作了很好的阐述。
下面我的回答就是截取其中的。
刘勰在文心雕龙里以隐与迷并列，解隐为遁辞以隐意，谲譬以指事。迷为回护其辞，使
昏迷也，或体目文字，或图象品物。迷在魏晋以后是隐的化身。由此，迷与隐原来是一
件东西。
你说的很对。不管是隐语还是隐喻，其实呢，都关键在于一个隐。
中国诗和西方诗相比较，描写诗比较早比较丰富，就是因为中国人特别注意自然界的事
物的微妙关系和类似。
迷语不单是中国描写诗的开始，也是诗中比喻格的基础。以甲事物隐射乙事物时，甲乙
大半由类似点，可以互相譬喻。有时甲乙并举，就是显喻simile，有时以乙暗示甲，则
为隐喻metaphor。
比如，古谚，少见多怪，多所怪，见骆驼，言马肿背。
如果只言见骆驼言马肿背，意在使人知所指为少见多怪。则为隐喻了。
一般民众都有简单的诗歌想象力，普通的语言也有它的艺术性。这些都是简单的美感经
验和诗的欣赏，只是诗人用比喻把这些简单的想象力和普通的语言精练化了。 |

格林童话的愿意是“只要你坚持信仰，在最困难的时候也能Hold住自己的人格，总有一

Daniel的到来让梁丹的生活完全变了样。事实是，此后的两年，梁丹脱离了学校，当上

夫妻俩关于带孩子，没少争吵。依李昕的意思，孩子可以送回国让他母亲带。李昕只是
建议，但梁丹每次听到都忍不住发火。
“动不动就是把孩子送给你妈带！你妈难道该给你带孩子不成？你妈要伺候你爸，还要

不舍得送回国！你要不愿意带，我带！！”

过日子，你看着办吧。”
“钱少有钱少的过法。Daniel现在确实需要我。等他再大点，我会想办法挣钱的。”

Nothing inspires like a child's imagination. And, nothing saddens like an

Ezra Pound reminds his readers of these facts with his very simple poem, "A
