Answer: An Allusion is a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work of art, either directly or by implication. Casual reference to a famous historical or literary figure or event. In a freer informal definition allusion is a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication. Example:"Justice too long delayed is justice denied."
