Metaphor
"Still harder was grasping that within that room, there was an opening into yet another room, the human brain."
Metaphor in Context
I lifted my gaze and stared up toward the top floor of the hospital wing. It was hard to imagine that the silent, faintly humming room, with its islands of high-tech equipment, was just a few yards away from the chaos out here. Still harder was grasping that within that room, there was an opening into yet another room, the human brain.
