Every day, every person says a few hundred words. Speech of different people differs depending on the education, erudition, and the situation of communication, profession, and even mood. Colorful, juicy words involuntarily attract our attention. This is because such a conversational virtuoso is imaginative and full of metaphors. In simple words a metaphor can be described as the change in the meaning of the word or expression, the transfer of the meaning of the word to another phenomenon or object. This linguistic property is actively used in speech, sometimes we do not even notice that they had used a particular expression in a figurative sense. How can such “erased” metaphor? The examples are quite obvious: the leg of the chair, nail head, a bitter disappointment, the bottle, the bottom of the mountain. In these expressions, the figurative meaning is already lost.
Fiction is entirely a metaphor. Examples from literature, especially poetry, the most extensive and interesting. Of course, gifted poets do not just stick a metaphorical word, and gradually develop the way or complicate his juxtaposition of the two metaphors.
“Bitter me the honey of your words” Block.
“I want a dagger of words” Balmont.
Tyutchev, using personification and metaphor, winter is the image of an evil and angry woman: “the Winter's angry without reason…”.
Not only Russian poets tend to resort to such ways of revitalizing poetry as a metaphor. Examples from English poetry. Shakespeare, for example, compared the eyes of the woman with twinkling stars, and burns wrote about the swirling, surging blood.

In the literature there is a term or individual author's metaphor.
