Metaphor
"Or let two words, in my mind's eye, / Unite more close, than You, and I."
Metaphor in Context
And I must be a strange forgetter,
If e'er, in fancy, phrase, or letter,
By any means, on any spot,
I share a self, which you share not;
Or let two words, in my mind's eye,
Unite more close, than You, and I.
If e'er, in fancy, phrase, or letter,
By any means, on any spot,
I share a self, which you share not;
Or let two words, in my mind's eye,
Unite more close, than You, and I.
