The term "overpass" in literature is used in a variety of nuanced ways that highlight both literal and figurative transcendence. In some instances, such as in Victor Hugo's poem [1], it carries a metaphorical weight, suggesting the act of surpassing or emulating a model, even one as formidable as a tiger. Similarly, Saint Augustine employs the term to evoke a sense of strenuous effort in overcoming vast, insurmountable obstacles [2]. William James, on the other hand, uses the word almost as a lament about the limits of human endeavor and understanding by referring to boundaries that “we can't overpass” [3]. This idea is further underscored by Benito Pérez Galdós in providing a lexicon-like definition that includes going beyond or piercing through [4], while Giovanni Boccaccio uses "overpass" to denote an aspirational yet seemingly unattainable benchmark to be exceeded [5]. Together, these examples illustrate the word's versatility and its capacity to encapsulate both physical and metaphorical transcendence in literary discourse.
