Metaphor in Context
He approached me with a diffident respect, and my pleased imagination presented him to my eyes in the true form of my once-loved Ferdinand. A sudden joy seemed to sparkle from his eyes, unmixed with that wildness which of late had dispersed their benign beams, and he accosted me in a manner that engaged all my attention, nor will the minutest word he spoke be ever blotted from my memory.
