The words from the excerpt that help to form an implied metaphor are "a flood from my heart." This phrase suggests a strong and overwhelming feeling of emotion without explicitly stating it, comparing feelings to a flood, which is a common metaphor for an intense emotional outpouring.
Use this excerpt from “Araby” by James Joyce to answer the question.
Her name sprang to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand. My eyes were often full of tears (I could not tell why) and at times a flood from my heart seemed to pour itself out into my bosom.
