The answer to the blank is: figure.

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is a phrase or word that makes use of figurative language (as opposed to literal language, figurative language deviates from the conventional meaning —the dictionary definition, for example— of a word in order to deepen the sense or meaning of the word by means of interpretation).

A figure of speech is meant to carry the expression further than its literal meaning by inventive means such as the ones that can be found in any metaphor or simile, like: your eyes are like diamonds.

"f...contents of the chest never came quite clear,.....because he didn't want to know."; "....but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him...", these  words reflect the boy's feelings towards the passage of time , but these seem to be senseless  when <em>he</em> gets <em>shocked </em>on coming across <em>his own</em> drawings. He drew them when he was five.
