searching for metonymy in literature

[Jo Rubba]

Hi, here I am to pick brains again ...

I'm teaching a course in cognitive stylistics this term and I am looking
for (short) pieces of literature which use metonymy in more than just
the occasional example -- pieces in which it is a major vehicle for
focus, assigning or shifting credit or blame, etc. Music lyrics, bits of
movies, etc. would also do.

I can get plenty of examples from nonliterary prose, but it would be
nice to have some literary/art ones.

Thanks in advance; will share results.
