If you read Romeo and Julietyou'll come across sentences like,She doth teach the torches to burn bright,and, So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows.Both are quite clever metaphors,suggesting that Juliet is both exceptionally beautifuland far moreso than anyone else.For thou art as glorious to this night,being o'er my head,as is a winged messenger of heaven,is a simile suggesting angelic qualitiesof the lady in question.
