The most famous example of a controlling image is John Donne's The Flea. The entire poem is about his comparison of love to a flea; he points out that the blood of his lady and himself have been mixed when the flea bit them both, and he continues to make references to the flea throughout the rest of the poem. Another famous example is Emily Dickinson's comparison of death to a coach driver in Because I Would Not Stop for Death.

In both examples, the image is not a short metaphor mentioned briefly; the entire poem is based around the one comparison.
