| Summary: | This article deals with the description of the antropomorphic (mental, emotive, social) including vital, perceptual and bodily metaphors. Signs underlying the creation of such metaphors are explained from the mythology and symbolism perspective. The modern poetic works are used as an illustrative material.

The moon is seen as an independent, not related to other celestial objects, detached from the people, but, nevertheless, observing from the height of their lives. |
