All we Karamazovs are such insects, and... that insect lives in you, too. (from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky) [Metaphor]

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! (from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) [Apostrophe]

In a sentence, when a speaker breaks off from pointing one party and instead points the third, the literary device used is said to be an Apostrophe.

I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. (from Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain) [Hyperbole]

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which is not meant to be taken literally. They add comic relief in the sentence. Hyperbole is not a comparison as in metaphor or simile but an overstatement which is not to be taken in literal sense.

Rilke referred to his poems as “_____ poems.”
Alinara [238K]
Rainer Maria Rilke's referred to his poems as 'mystical' poems. This is because his literary pieces contains haunting images, with the combined theme of beauty and suffering, as well as life and death. Rilke's themes in his works is the exact opposite of Shakespeare's. Shakespeare used intellectual symbols rather than physical, while Rilke gives emphasis on physical rather than intellectual symbols.
