Book Reviews of Metaphors Dictionary
Book Review: A fine piece
Summary: 4 Stars
I have not gone into the depth of it much but at a glance it seems apt for its purpose. What I miss is a metaphor or symbol dictionary that accounts for the ways singular words can be lent to metaphor. Like sky, desert, glass, water and so forth and in what metaphorical applications they have been used.
