In visual and literary works, a figure of speech or depiction used to cite or hypothesize a relationship of similarity and comparability between two disparate ideas or elements; often used as a point of clarification, or to elucidate an unfamiliar point or idea in terms of something more familiar and accessible. An example would be describing the correspondence between a river moving through a valley, with which readers would be familiar, and a glacier moving through a valley, which is much slower and more difficult to perceive. ]]></note></mads>
