“And that's not all,” the number devil added, picking up a walking stick with a silver knob and twirling it in front of Robert's nose. “When you get to five million etcetera, you can go on. Indefinitely. There's an infinite number of numbers.”
Robert didn't quite know whether to believe him.
“How can you be so sure?" he asked. "Have you ever tried?”
“Can't say I have,” the devil answered. “It would take too long, for one thing. And it makes no sense anyway. It would be a waste of time."
Robert didn't see why.
“Either I can count to the end, in which case there is no such thing as infinity, or there is no end and I can't count to it.”
“Wrong!” the number devil shouted, his mustache quivering, his eyes bulging, and his face turning red with rage.
—The Number Devil,
Hans Magnus Enzenberger

Which part of this excerpt from john keats' poem "endymion" contains a simile? therefore, 'tis with full happiness that i will trace the story of endymion. the very music of the name has gone into my being, and each pleasant scene is growing fresh before me as the green of our own vallies: so i will begin now while i cannot hear the city's din; now while the early budders are just new, and run in mazes of the youngest hue about old forests; while the willow trails its delicate amber; and the dairy pails bring home increase of milk. and, as the year grows lush in juicy stalks, i'll smoothly steer my little boat, for many quiet hours, with streams that deepen freshly into bowers.
