Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to one thing by mentioning another one. It allows an author to provide clarity by identifying similarities between two different ideas. In this case, the author is trying to compare the attitude of the biographer to the idea of postrating yourself before the mystery of a millionare. By using this phrase, the author wants to convey the obsession and fascination that the biographer felt for Vanderbilt.
