Which part of this excerpt from john keats' poem "endymion" contains a simile? therefore, 'tis with full happiness that i will trace the story of endymion. the very music of the name has gone into my being, and each pleasant scene is growing fresh before me as the green of our own vallies: so i will begin now while i cannot hear the city's din; now while the early budders are just new, and run in mazes of the youngest hue about old forests; while the willow trails its delicate amber; and the dairy pails bring home increase of milk. and, as the year grows lush in juicy stalks, i'll smoothly steer my little boat, for many quiet hours, with streams that deepen freshly into bowers.

The part of the excerpt from John Keat's poem "Endymion" that contains a similie is below.

"Into my being, and each pleasant scene

Is growing fresh before me as the green

Of our own vallies: so I will begin."

Explanation:

A similie is used to compare two things using the words "like" or "as." In this passage, Keat is comparing what is growing inside of him to the green valleys. Both are fresh.

The only other use of "as" or "like" (to indicate a similie) in this passage of the poem is used in the section below.

"Its delicate amber; and the dairy pails

Bring home increase of milk.  

And, as the year

Grows lush in juicy stalks, I'll smoothly steer"

However, here as is not used as a similie to compare, but simply as a conjunction to connect clauses in the section.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
