Metaphor in Context
Annesly kept his eyes fixed on the lights of London, till the encreasing distance deprived them of their object. Nor did his imagination fail him in the picture, after that help was taken from her. The form of the weeping Harriet, lovely in her grief, still swam before his sight; on the back-ground stood a venerable figure, turning his eyes to heaven, while a tear [that swelled in each dropped for the sacrifice of his sorrow, and a bending angel accepted it as incense.
