PoeticaI Figures.

Common people often use figures OF
speech which are both poetical and strong.
While visiting in Norfolk near the North
sea Tennyson was much impressed with
the saying which he there heard, 'The sea
is moaning for the loss of the wind
This poetical saying he used to compare
with another he heard used by an old fish
woman who had lost two sons at sea. On
a stormy day she, clinching her fist at the
advancing tide, cried out:
