A silver lining is a metaphor for optimism in vernacular English, which means a negative occurrence may have a positive aspect to it.

A silver lining is a metaphor for optimism in vernacular English, which means a negative occurrence may have a positive aspect to it. Origin John Milton coined the phrase 'silver lining' in his poem Comus: A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634: It is a metaphor comparing the silvery, shining edges of a cloud backlit by the Sun or the Moon to an unseen silver lining for the back of the cloud.
