a: Harvard ~
b: New York City

Or to use another analogy, Harvard is like New York City: It's not a place for everybody, and it's not necessarily the best place to form good moral character or pursue the life of the mind. "

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.
