tenor and vehicle

literature

the components of a metaphor, with the tenor referring to the concept, object, or person meant, and the vehicle being the image that carries the weight of the comparison. The words were first used in this sense by the critic I.A. Richards (Richards, I.A.). In the first stanza of Abraham Cowley (Cowley, Abraham)'s poem “The Wish,” the tenor is the city and the vehicle is a beehive:

Well then; I now do plainly see,

This busy world and I shall ne'er agree;

The very honey of all earthly joy

Does of all meats the soonest cloy;

And they, methinks, deserve my pity

Who for it can endure the stings,

The crowd, and buzz, and murmurings

Of this great hive, the city.
