Significance: Extended Metaphor makes the poem more interesting and also help the writer express more of what they are trying to say than metaphor.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Imagery

Definition: The things that happen in your mind that you are reading, like you imagine it in your mind.

When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;

The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells.
