Allusion
Definition: an indirect reference, often to another text or an historic event.
Example: In George W. Bush's speech, he states, "And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: 'Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you ae with me' ". This is an example of an allusion.
