	Heart (Symbolism and Metaphor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Bible, and in much later literature, the heart is used as a metaphor to refer to the moral core of a human being including the intellect and not just the emotions [1].
		The Roman physician Galen considered the heart to be the seat of the emotions; the Stoics taught that the heart was the seat of the human soul.
		Others maintain the heart resembles the shape of the female breasts or the female buttocks, especially when bent over in readiness for copulation; meaning that the heart was a symbol of fertility and maturity as a possible mating partner.

	Metaphor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The more common meaning of metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to paint one concept with the attributes normally associated with another.
		Many consider metaphor to be at the heart of poetry (or even to define in part what it means to be human): the figure of speech that links dissimilar objects or concepts, establishing a non-deductive relationship.
		Metaphor is one of the most common figures of speech and many words have their origin in metaphor.

	Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Now this heart of flesh is currently accepted as the emblem of the emotion and moral life with which we associate it, and hence the place assigned to the word heart in symbolic language, as also the use of the same word to designate those things symbolized by the heart.
		But the relation of the Heart to the love of Christ is not that of a purely conventional sign, as in the relation of the word to the thing, or of the flag to the idea of one's country; this Heart has been and is still inseparably connected with that life of benefactions and love.
		Sometimes they have spoken as if the heart were the organ of love, but this point has no bearing on the devotion, for which it suffices that the heart be the symbol of love, and that, for the basis of the symbolism, a real connection exist between the heart and the emotions.

		In the case of private symbols, those created by an artist and used throughout a piece or body of work, the context is the work, and the symbol's meaning complex is created by repetition within, and association with, that context.
		The origin of the dove symbol in Western culture is the biblical story of Noah, in which the dove returned with an olive branch in its mouth, a sign that the flood was beginning to subside.

		Kurtz symbolizing the spiritual meaning of the wilderness and the powers it has, and the two knitting women symbolizing a journey that becomes a version of the traditional descent into hell.
		Watt uses symbolism to bring attention to the fact that even as vague as Conrad was, he was also very focused on a few main ideas, "Conrad wanted to pay as much attention to the inside as to the outside, to the meaning as to the appearance" (Watt 323).

		This metaphor in the beginning of Heart of Darkness is what Ian Watt's article, "Impressionism and Symbolism in Heart of Darkness" discusses regarding the shell of the nut or the haze around the glow.
		Metaphorically, the symbolism, represented by the haze around the glow, is larger than its narrative vehicle, the glow, but the sensory quality of the metaphor, the haze, is essentially impressionist." This was a clue Conrad provided early in the book, using the narrator to explain that Marlow's stories are challenging to grasp.
		Symbolism in Conrad's work is depicted by his deliberate attempt to produce many different meanings or interpretations for events.

		The metaphorical utterance works by 'projecting on' the primary subject a set of 'associated implications,' comprised in the implicative complex, that is predictable of the secondary subject.
		METAPHOR - In a metaphor a word or expression which normally denotes one thing is applied to a different thing, without explicitly making a comparison.
		In metaphor, the turn is the substitution of one term for the other; in metonymy it is the association of one object with the other; in synecdoche it is the connection between part and whole, or the nature of that connection; in irony it is the connection between the overt and the hidden meaning.

		The human heart could also be used as a requisite in the interactions between Amor divinus and the Anima humana, as found in van Haeftens “Schola Cordis”, 1629 – or the heart might be replaced by Anima altogether, as in the Herman Hugo’s Jesuit “Pia Desideria” of 1624.
		The Sacred Heart is depicted with the side wound and with a cross planted on top and surrounded by the crown of thorns, thus obviously a passion symbol of late medieval character.
		The Catholic devotion to the Heart of Jesus was not without reflections in devout Pietist circles where the concept of the heart of Jesus was not unknown, perhaps most clearly in Herrnhutism, where the pleura-cult though rather extreme, never the less seems somewhat related to the contemporary Catholic devotion to the Sacred Heart.

		The book of the heart is a key metaphor in medieval culture, the master trope in a cluster of related images that figure the inner self in expressly textual terms.
		The book of the heart is a characteristically medieval trope, for it combines the central symbol of medieval textual culture, the manuscript codex, with a traditional psychology and anthropology centered on the "heart," thereby recreating the inner subject in the image of the "book."
		The pen or pencase is a common emblem of the scribe in medieval portraiture, and art historians have suggested that the sitter is a clerk or secretary to a chapter of Augustinian canons affiliated with the church in the background, identified as Notre-Dame des Victoires au Sablon in Brussels.

		Similarly, metaphors store precious information and have the innate capacity for carrying it from the mundane to the extraordinary, or indeed, to the sacred.
		A metaphor itself is comprised of a number of interrelating components which we call 'symbols'.
		Symbols such as national flags or religious icons may have a shared cultural meaning, but it is our personal connection with them that imbues them with significance.

		Symbolism in literature was a complex movement that deliberately extended the evocative power of words to express the feelings, sensations and states of mind that lie beyond everyday awareness.
		Symbolism was built on nebulous and somewhat dubious notions: it inspired beautiful and historically important work: it is now dead: that might be the blunt summary.
		Symbolism was to take on board a good deal of twentieth century concerns — alienation, loss of communal and spiritual beliefs — but this freight is more obvious with hindsight.

		But she does exist in Truth, and in the hearts of those who are intelligently alive in their correct scientific identification of themselves.
		Thus, the metaphor sets up a channel of thought, not between two human minds, but to the infinite base of being that is central to everyone, which the originator acknowledges to be totally intact.
