“Well, [Lorca had] a gift for gab. For example, he makes striking metaphors, but I think he makes striking metaphors for him, because I think that his world was mostly verbal.

Context: The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything.
