An example of a metaphor used by a naturalist:
"Yet between these corresponding groups of islands [either side of the Wallace line in the Malay Archipelago], constructed as it were after the same pattern, subjected to the same climate, and bathed by the same oceans, there exists the greatest possible contrast when we compare their animal productions."
Alfred Russel Wallace
