Metaphor
"My mind was totally occupied on the peculiar unhappiness of yours, in not being able to conquer a passion, which you acknowledge to be hopeless."
Metaphor in Context
NOT all the gay and pleasing scenes in which I have been engaged since my arrival here have been able to efface the tender melancholy I felt at bidding you adieu.--Though we parted at the Devizes, you accompanied me all the way to London; not even my little Fanny's chearful prattle, and innocent curiosity, could rouse me sufficiently from my reverie to make me answer her questions rationally.--My mind was totally occupied on the peculiar unhappiness of yours, in not being able to conquer a passion, which you acknowledge to be hopeless.
