The idea
Unit seven took metaphor, simile, personification, conceit, metonymy, synecdoche, symbolism and paradox. Sonnet seventy-three ran three metaphors in twelve lines; Orsino's four lines run a conceit about appetite. The density is the difficulty, not the individual figure.
In practice
Density, not difficulty.
