What the Next Unit Does

The idea

Sound and shape are settled. The next unit takes figurative language: metaphor, simile, personification and the conceit that unit three introduced, worked on Donne, Keats and Blake. Sound told you how a poem moves; figure tells you what it claims.

In practice

Next: what the figures claim.

Where people slip

Sound is how; figure is what.
