Symbolism is the use of images to represent or

stand for other thoughts and ideas

"A symbol means more than itself, but first it
means itself. Like a developing image in a
photographer's tray, a symbol reveals itself
slowly. It's been there all along, waiting to
emerge from the story, the poem, the essay and from the writer herself." - Rebecca
McClanahan
