QUESTION 1: METAPHOR [10]
Differentiate between literal and metaphorical language and quote one metaphor from
the poem printed above. (2)
Literal language is language that is used to convey the actual meaning of a word
or phrase. Metaphorical language is language that uses a figure of speech to
describe something by saying it is something else. An example of a metaphor
from the poem is "O luminary clock against the sky" in line 10, where the clock is
compared to a luminary, or celestial body.
