Literary notes about link (AI summary)
The term "link" is employed in literature as a multifaceted metaphor that spans tangible and abstract realms. It frequently symbolizes connections between disparate elements—whether uniting civilizations and histories, as when a past is interwoven across time ([1]), or knitting together ideas and evidence to form a coherent chain of reasoning ([2], [3]). Authors also extend its meaning to denote bonds among people, emotions, and even technological elements, as seen in verse that calls for the ties of peace ([4]) and in modern texts referring to internet connections ([5], [6]). In some works, the notion of a missing or weakest link serves as a poignant reminder that every part is essential to maintaining strength and coherence ([7], [8]).
