Excerpt from An Essay on Metaphor in Poetry: With an Appendix on the Use of Metaphor in Tennyson's in Memoriam In the 21st chapter of his Poetic Aristotle defines metaphor as "the transference of a word to a sense different from its proper signification." Four kinds of metaphors are distinguished by him, namely, those in which the transference is made (1) from the genus to the species, (2) from the species to the genus, (3) from species to species, and (4) according to the analogous (Katà tò àva¿oyov). So far as the first three kinds are concerned the classification is sufficiently simple. The nature of the last is not so clear.
