Hi. You have not submitted the essay this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try and help as best I can.
It is only possible to know how the reference to King Midas is important for the essay if the reading of the essay is done. However, King Midas is known to be a very ambitious and wealth-obsessed King, even to the point of selling his own soul to become richer, which causes him to lose his most precious possession, his daughter. In this case, we can consider that the essay must present this king to draw a parallel between the subject of the essay and this tragic story of Midas, stimulated by the thirst for riches. We can therefore consider that the reference to Midas serves to intensify some of Chesterton's positions within the essay.
This is an example of an allusion, because an allusion is a figure of speech that allows a text to make references to other texts, people, characters, places and external situations.
In this poetry, the abstract concept of "hope," which can also signify "desire" or "trust," is symbolically compared to a "bird," a real, living thing. The meaning of the term "bird" is broad. Birds are frequently perceived as being independent and free, or as spiritual symbols.
How is hope compared to a bird ?
American poet Emily Dickinson wrote the famous poem "Hope is the thing with feathers" sometime about 1861. In the poem, "Hope" is metaphorically transformed into a resilient bird that lives inside the human spirit and sings its song in the face of adversity. In essence, the poem wants to remind readers of the power of optimism and how little it asks of them. The speaker said that hope has never asked for anything in return and has always been a consolation in hard times. One of several poems by Emily Dickinson that rework an abstract concept using fresh imagery and figurative language is "Hope is the Thing with Feathers."
