 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">An <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">**antonym** is a word opposite in meaning to another.
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">A <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">**metaphor** is a name or descriptive term or phrase applied to an object or action to which it is imaginatively but not literally applicable. In verse eight, Rudyard Kipling describes time as being indifferent, merciless **<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">"the unforgiving minute" **, this is an example of a metaphor.

It is derived from the Greek word "idios" meaning strange, idiomatic in Greek is "idiomatikos", which means peculiar. We also get such words as idiot from the same morphological root (morphology is the study of the form of words).
 * <span style="display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: justify;">An example of an idiomatic phrase in "If" is found in verse eight: **<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">"sixty seconds worth of distance run". **

<span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">To serve your turn long after they are gone, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">And so hold on when there is nothing in you <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

<span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">If all men count with you, but none too much;

<span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">If you can fill the unforgiving minute <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, <span style="color: #000566; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;">And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
