A transferred epithet or hypallage is the transfer of an epithet from one noun to another. Thus an adjective or a predicative will grammatically modify one noun or become an adverb, while semantically modifying another. Examples: "restless night" The night was not restless, but the person who was awake through it was. "happy morning" Mornings have not feelings, but the people who are awake through them do. "The ploughman homeward plods his weary way" -Thomas Gray, the way is not weary, but the ploughman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferred_epithet
