Metaphors let people grasp abstract ideas by linking them to vivid sensory scenes, like describing heavy rain as 'raining cats and dogs.' They bypass logic, appealing directly to imagination and feeling, and can be as precise as a beagle or as evocative as a cricket singing on a drifting branch. Great metaphors, found in poetry and daily speech alike, make intangible concepts feel tangible, opening doors to new ways of understanding. When words become handles, they create worlds beyond literal meaning.
