Explanation:

A metaphor is a type of rhetorical figure or expression in which the meaning of one concept is related to that of another, establishing a relationship where it is implied that there is a similarity between the two.

In this case we can see that Lincoln searched for the recipe for a new country from unique ingredients, we all know that there is no recipe to create a country and no ingredients either. That is why this is called a metaphor, since he used the meaning of the recipe concept, to establish "the guidelines" in which he can find "unique ways" to shape a new country.

in the sonnet 116 written by william shakespeare we can analyze the symbolism and say that he reuses the idea of love like a guiding star for the sailor.

reading through the poem we find out that in the line 7 there is a metaphor for the lover that is heading through the life events by love itself .
