FAN and Medal Help me find metaphors plz

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

Here is a long and silent street. I walk in blackness and I stumble and fall and rise, and I walk blind, my feet trampling the silent stones and the dry leaves. Someone behind me also tramples, stones, leaves: if I slow down, he slows; if I run, he runs I turn : nobody. Everything dark and doorless, only my steps aware of me, I turning and turning among these corners which lead forever to the street where nobody waits for, nobody follows me, where I pursue a man who stumbles and rises and says when he sees me : nobody.

Do you have choices?

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

nope I just need to find the metaphors from the poem

OpenStudy (itsmichelle29):

is "silent stones"one?

OpenStudy (ulink):

Yes. "Silent Stones" is one.

OpenStudy (ulink):

It looks like every sentence or line has one.

OpenStudy (ulink):

metaphor |ˈmetəˌfôr, -fər| noun A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable: “I had fallen through a trapdoor of depression,” said Mark, who was fond of theatrical metaphors | her poetry depends on suggestion and metaphor.
