#1 - Analogy: a comparison between two unlike things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification, created by extending a simple simile or metaphor. Often used to explain an abstract idea in terms of a known concrete object.

on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
—Carl Sandburg
