Frye, Northrop. An anatomy of criticism. (Princeton : Princeton University Press, 1957). On the literal level of meaning, metaphor appears in its literal shape, which is simple juxtaposition. Ezra Pound, in explaining this aspect of metaphor, uses the illustrative figure of the Chinese ideogram, which expresses a complex image by throwing a group of elements together without predication. Predication belongs to assertion and descriptive meaning, not to the literal structure of poetry. |
