«كما مر في تشبيه الشقيق بأعلام ياقوت نشرن على رماح من زبرجد»
As in comparing the red anemone to ruby banners spread on emerald-like spears.
The anemone is a single flower, while the image of red banners on green shafts is an arrangement of several features or objects. Where colour and spatial relation are jointly intended, the point is a sensory composite.
This shows that a simple subject can be compared to a composite comparison image. The decisive issue is whether the audience is meant to perceive one organised image or several unrelated qualities.
