It is called an Allusion. It alludes to that siege in the poem. Some just may called it a comparison. I have added a really good answer for you on the related question below. The person who gave that answer did an excellent job of it.

We don't call by reference, we call functions. The arguments passed to the function are passed (not called) either by value or by reference, depending upon the function signature (the prototype). When you pass by reference you are passing the actual variable, not a copy of the variable, thus the function can modify that variable's value directly. The only exception is when the parameter is declared a constant reference. Passing a pointer is essentially the same as passing by reference, however the pointer itself is passed by value. To pass a pointer by reference you must pass a pointer-to-pointer instead. Passing by value always copies the value, whether it is declared constant or not. But if it is declared constant, the function might as well accept a constant reference. Passing objects (instances of a class) by constant value will incur a performance penalty in making an unnecessary copy. If it is constant, there is little point in copying the object.
If you use the passing car as a reference point, you would appear to be moving south. This is because your perspective changes as the passing car moves north, making it seem like you are moving in the opposite direction, even though you are stationary.
Well let me start by saying that passing by value is like making a copy of something. The copy my be changed or destroyed without changing the original. Example: void PassByValueFunction (int); main() { int num = 5; cout
No, this is not an example of an allusion. An allusion is a reference to a well-known person, place, or event, usually from literature or history. In this sentence, the comparison is direct and not making a reference to anything else.
The term "allusion" comes from the Latin word "allusio," which means a "playful reference" or "a rhythmical device in music." It has been used in English since the late 16th century to refer to a passing or indirect reference in writing or speech.
When someone references modern farming they are making reference to the modern techniques used in farming. These techniques involve tractors for harvesting for example.
Allusion means making an indirect reference to something.
Call by reference does not necessarily mean you want to change something. It simply means that you are passing a pointer to the object rather than the object itself. This can be cost effective if the object is large, in comparison to a pointer. Making the call by reference const is an effective tool for doing this when you do not intend to modify the object, and you want to make sure you don't accidentally do so.
Yes, the sunlight passing through a mist or fog showing a beam of light is an example of the Tyndall effect. It occurs when light scatters in all directions by particles in a medium, making the beam of light visible.
An allusion is a passing or casual reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It can also mean making a casual of indirect reference to something of significance.Example of sentences using allusions:Don't act like a Romeo around her.Making that statement will open a Pandora's Box of problems.Example of a sentence using the word allusion:The author uses allusions to past crimes to build the plot of the book.
