"Allegory" is a word in ENGLISH
Anything which represents by suggestive resemblance; an
emblem.
A figure representation which has a meaning beyond notion
directly conveyed by the object painted or sculptured.
A figurative sentence or discourse, in which the
principal subject is described by another subject resembling it in its
properties and circumstances. The real subject is thus kept out of
view, and we are left to collect the intentions of the writer or
speaker by the resemblance of the secondary to the primary subject.
For days and days, the rain beat its fists on the roof of our house— evidence of the terrible mistake God had made. Each morning, when I woke I listened for the tireless pounding, looked at the drear through the window and was relieved that at least the sun had the decency to stay the hell away from us.
