It's one thing that you get attracted to someone because of striking good looks or because of that certain "dating" and it's another thing when you're captivated through intellect. The latter lasts longer in my case.

Literature, and the world in general, would lack life and luster without metaphors, double-meanings, allusions, overtones, and all the other figures of speech. Sure, everything would seem more clear given that whatever it is that has to be said must be relayed in a straightforward manner. But then again that would be... boring. If it worked like that, the color red would just be the color red and nothing else. It wouldn't stand for love or war or luck... it would be just a word pertaining to one particular color.
