A metaphor. Examples of metaphors are: "At night the sea is a black abyss that stretches on through eternity."
"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun."
In contrast, a simile is a comparison that uses "like" or "as." A metaphor states that Thing 1 IS Thing 2. A simile merely states that Thing 1 is similar or the same as Thing 2.
Examples of similes are: "Her contemptuous laughter washed over him like a bucket of freezing water."
"He opened his eyes to see her face looming above him in the darkness, as luminous and radiant as the moon hanging in the night sky outside."
