Comparison:
[From “My Shot“] I’m a diamond in the rough, a shining piece of coal.
When Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote these words for “Hamilton“ in Hamilton he knew a vintage metaphor could carry the weight of the moment. Expressing youth, inexperience, and potential, all pointing toward eventual potent achievement, Miranda realised that this lyric would carry the day--even into the room where it happens.
Context:
[This comparison comes from the Broadway, and International, Hit: Hamilton.]
Citation:
Miranda, Lin-Manuel. Hamilton. 2015.
