Question

Which excerpt from "Foreign Lands" contains a metaphor?

The dusty roads go up and down
With people tramping in to town.
I saw the next-door garden lie,
Adorned with flowers, before my eye
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad on foreign lands.
I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky's blue looking-glass;

Answer 1

The lines
"I saw the dimpling river pass
And be the sky's blue looking-glass;"
contain a metaphor — the river is called the "sky's blue looking-glass," directly equating the river with a mirror that reflects the sky (not using "like" or "as").
