The term "smite" carries with it a weight of both literal and metaphorical force throughout literature. In some works, it vividly portrays the act of striking down an enemy with decisive action, as seen when warriors are urged to smite in the heat of battle [1] or when a leader commands the physical overthrow of an adversary [2]. In a more symbolic dimension, the word often implies divine or moral retribution, suggesting that the hand of fate or a higher power may smite wrongdoers [3][4]. It is also used to evoke internal struggle or the unforeseen impact of destiny, where even a gentle, almost ironic, application of power may be felt deeply [5][6]. This range of usage underscores the word’s enduring association with both physical might and the profound consequences of one’s actions.
