Metaphorically, a pursued entity is not captured.\nSuccess eludes me.\nHis point escaped the entire audience.\nA simple truth has evaded so many of us.\n\nThis frame is a metaphorical extension of the Evading frame. The Evading frame concerns literal motion of two self-directed entities, one of which moves in such a way as to successfully prevent the other from capturing it. In the case of the Elusive_goal frame, however, there is no literal motion, but rather a Desired_goal that is not \"captured\" by the Experiencer that would like the Desired_goal to be true or known."^^ .
