Example of Metaphor:

“And so back to London in the evening….the good-nights and see you tomorrows of friends parting at wayside stations, and then the lights of Londonnot the flaring ecstasy of youth, not that tattered violet banner, but still the lights of London all the same; hard, electric lights, high up in offices; street lamps laced along dry pavements; flares roaring above street markets.”
