The need for metaphores

What is the use of them such as they are?

That any one day.
Like the Italian coast,
that stays behind,
this departing ship.

Could it possibly be the economy of words, of language modules in the brain, or the pleasure of diving into a larger world?
More soon.

It cannot be pleasure, for pleasure is just an outcome...

Like Chesterton said:
"There aren't enough words to express ourselves..."
Metaphores are only tips of what our minds really get.

Fitzgerald:
Then the question must be refrased:
What is the need to express all, be metaphorically or not?
