Dead Metaphor

Fire as a metaphor and a worn out linguistic failure the dead metaphor Aristotle said in the Poetics Metaphor consists in giving the thing a name that belongs to something else the transference being either from genus to species or from species to genus or from species to species on the grounds of analogy Metaphor here can only give way to the real Felt experience phenomenological reality seem to be all that is left when grappling a flame And what is written in letter and image seem to go beyond what can ever be spoken and heard
