Hi
I mean in general
words like colours and also words like light ;blindness;...
They have deep meanings like the example of "sun" I gave above.
I know that it exist a dictionary of literary symbols but I don't have one.
I want some definitions of symbols from the web for example or any other source
Please help

Please don't expect any of us to spoon-feed you: you have to do something to help yourself.

Sorry
Before this thread I googled but all the sites don't give me what I wanted to know that's why I'm asking Tdol because he knows how to search
So, if you can't find one for me I'm free to ask him whatever I want and I ask you to be more polite than that,please
You can't help leave it to others,Ok
See you

I understand, and does the list have to be free? The reason I ask, there's a fabulous book, and it's not free, here, and you can download it here. It's the cheapest one. This site, A Dictionary of Literary Symbols - The Free Download eBooks Engine!, says you can download the book for free, but I haven't checked that out. To do so I would have to download the book, and I don't have the time nor space. Sorry.

There is also the site below that you can look through and decide if it might help:
