In the following passage from "[[The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock]]", [[T. S. Eliot]] provides an example of an extended metaphor:

:The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,	
:The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes	
:Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,	
:Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,	
:Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
:Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
:And seeing that it was a soft October night,	
:Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.<ref name=Pruf>{{cite web|last=Eliot|first=T.S.|title=1. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock|url=http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html|work=Prufrock and Other Observations|publisher=Bartleby.com|access-date=4 November 2012}}</ref>

Qualities (grounds) that we associate with cats (vehicle), color, rubbing, muzzling, licking, slipping, leaping, curling, sleeping, are used to describe the fog (tenor).<ref name=Thornborrow />

=== James Joyce ===
Joyce's ''[[Ulysses (novel)|Ulysses]]'' features an extended metaphor between its characters and those of the Ancient Greek epic, ''[[The Odyssey]]''. Leopold Bloom maps to Odysseus, Stephen Dedalus maps to Telemachus, and Molly Bloom maps to Penelope; minor characters also demonstrate parallels, such as the one-eyed "Cyclops" character which Bloom interacts with. Used as a [[hypotext]], many readers at the time of publication did not necessarily notice the connection, until it was pointed out by T.S. Eliot’s essay on the subject.<ref>Eliot, T.S.
