The word "asunder" has been employed by writers across centuries to evoke a powerful sense of separation—whether in a literal, physical sense or as a metaphor for emotional or abstract division. In works ranging from Kipling’s depiction of an object violently torn apart by “brother-elephants” [1] to Swift’s hyperbolic image of a colossus spread with limbs “as far asunder” [2], authors use the term to render the splitting of cohesiveness into discordant, unbridgeable parts. Its usage is equally potent in historical and mythic narratives, where forces, whether human, natural, or divine, are depicted as breaking or scattering elements, as seen in Dante’s vivid imagery of stones breaking “asunder” [3] or in Carlyle’s accounts where chains, ideals, and even human bodies are rent in pieces [4, 5, 6]. This layered articulation, spanning from the physical act of breaking (as in Andersen’s description of masts or rocks being burst [7, 8]) to the figurative disintegration of bonds and relationships (for example, “What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder” [9]), underscores the term’s enduring appeal as a symbol of irreversible separation.
