The word "incline" is remarkably versatile in literary usage, operating both in the tangible and abstract realms. In many texts it describes physical slopes or gradients, as when a character ascends a hill or navigates a road with a steep downward slope ([1], [2], [3]). Equally prevalent is its metaphorical use to indicate a leaning of the mind or disposition—whether toward an opinion, behavior, or state of feeling—invoking a natural predisposition or gradual shift in perspective ([4], [5], [6]). Additionally, the term is often employed in appeals for attentive listening in a quasi-religious or rhetorical mode—urging an audience to "incline their ear" to wisdom or instruction ([7], [8], [9]). Thus, across genres and historical periods, "incline" enriches narrative and persuasive language by elegantly bridging physical movement with internal, emotional, or intellectual turning.
