Metaphor in Context
“I doubt if I shall ever be able to recall anything,” I said. “My mind feels like a Nesselrode pudding, cold, and stuffed with all sorts of things; but I’m certain, I sha’n’t ever forget the impression which the whole thing gives of magnificence and grandeur. Oh for a few mediaeval cathedrals in our own nineteenth century!”
