Jan Zwicky, Wisdom & Metaphor

Jan Zwicky

“To understand a metaphor is to recognize that if one context or conceptual constellation is laid over another, just so, aspects or outlines will spring into focus, a common pattern will be discernible — one that makes a difference to our grasp of the individual constellations or contexts separately.”
Jan Zwicky, Wisdom & Metaphor
