Definition: The term 'aphetism' refers to a poetic expression that taps into the human spirit's depths, often invoking beauty, wonder, or emotions without directly expressing words. Itβs a poetic technique used in poetry, prose, music, and other forms to express complex ideas. Aphorisms are usually simple statements but can be more profound due to their simplicity. Examples of aphorisms include "Every cloud has a silver lining" or "I am not alone."
