a: Nature ~
b: sullen, neglected lover
What: "Nature is like a sullen, neglected lover-when you think she's gone, she reminds us that she's there. So, amidst the books and backpacks, she may assert herself. It could beas subtle as a fern growing twenty feet up the side of a building in a wet, mossy patch under a rain gutter, or as bold as the sudden appearance of the turkeys."

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.
