Examples of metaphors in Silas Marner are as follows;
...the fence was broken down--the support was snatched away.
...baffled by the blank like that which meets a plodding ant when the earth has broken away on its homeward path.
the evening had no phantasm of delight to still the poor soul's craving
Silas Marner/ Chapter 10
