There are metaphors stating that there is something more to life than that which meets the eye, that universal design is real.

Lennie is alone in the barn, petting a puppy that he has obviously petted a little too long and hard, and he can't make up his mind about it. First, he covers the dead puppy up with hay. Next, he flings the dead puppy across the barn. We're not sure he's all that concerned about the dead puppy, actually.

The Newbery Medal, for instance, honors authors for distinguished work in literature. The decision to honor illustrators similarly, resulted in the Caldecott Medal in 1937.
