For example: "my eyes feel tired" instead of what one would usually associate with eyes, i.e., "sight" like "my eyes see you"
or if one were to be more poetic -- "my eye shall be the stream and watery deathbed for him" (from Merchant of Venice) which evokes FEELING and maybe even SOUND.
I know there is a word for this in Japanese, but I can't recall it for the life of me. Does English have such a term?Is there a word for this type of literary device?
Those are just metaphors, that's all (see link, below).
Good luck!... ?
