brother
"A brother is like gold and a friend is like diamond. If gold cracks you can melt it and make it just like it was before. If a diamond cracks, it can never be like it was before."
"The bond between a sister and brother is like the umbilical cord between a mother and a child – invisible yet omnipresent."
A band with a good introduction.
"He's My Brother She's My Sister is like a time warp to the golden present, wrapping nostalgia around the here and now with throwback flair and good taste."
METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
