Koch found an interesting approach to the metaphor poems. He taught several different grades ranging from first through sixth. At first he inspired the kids by reading an adult poem--including D.H. Lawrence, Theodore Roethke, John Ashberry, and Dyland Thomas--but as his collection of kids' poems increased he would read in one class poems written in another. He noticed that P.S.61 was establishing its own literary tradition--an institutional salon of sorts. Thus a misspelled word triggered Koch's introduction to a metaphor. A child wrote "A swam of bees," instead of a "swarm." A first grader's poem...
Harvey displays throughout a moist passion for metaphor. Because a great deal of Christina's past is shown in flashback, Harvey wets down the royal palace and environs with what we must assume to be the mists of memory. Much of the movie consequently looks fogbound, as if it were photographed during a close night on the Grand Bank. Harvey requires Ullmann to run through fields to demonstrate exuberance, slouch in doorways to show anxiety and uncertainty, and practically pant after a handsome young courtier whose love she fears. "I want to be loved!" Christina complains to a wily...

...scrupulously shaded and controlled. Most impressively, Director Louis Malle (Phantom India) does not soften or sentimentalize Lucien, neither judges nor justifies him. Malle's voice is hard and even, his attitude toward his young protagonist understanding, yet cautionary. In Lucien's story, Malle has found a perfect metaphor, direct without being strident, subtle and urgent at the same time. As with Lucien, the foundation for national tragedy is laid quietly, and is built upon with a terrible ease...
...small change can have big repercussions. If each young family in the U.S. decided to have two children, the population in 2030 would reach 264 million. But if each family decided to have three, the population would be 444 million (see chart). Demographers have used an unattractive but vivid metaphor to describe the long-term effects of a baby boom. They compare the assimilation into society of the 64 million postwar babies, the largest cohort in U.S. history, to the process by which a python digests...
