An example of a simile used by a scientist:
"In a comparison between science and art, we must of course not forget than in the former we have to do with systematic concerted efforts to augment experience and develop appropriate concepts for its comprehension, resembling the carrying and fitting of stones to a building, while in the latter we are presented with more intuitive individual endeavours to evoke sentiments which recall the wholeness of our situation."
