Vocab: Imagery

Definition: Use of senses so that the reader can have a visual of what going on by using descriptive language


Example:
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells

Significance: Imagery helps you to visualize and have a better view towards poem.  Imagine an image also helps in create mood and tone which contribute the meaning.
