Tagore's poem "Passing Breeze" contains the following
literary devices:
1. Personification- the giving of human
characteristics to non-human/non-living things.
The
following line contains personification given that light cannot dance (typically, it is
a description given to light, but the fact remains that people dance- not
light.
this
golden light that dances upon the
leaves
2. Metaphor-
comparison between two things not using the words
"like/as".
The following line compares clouds to
boats:
these
idol clouds sailing across the
sky.
3. Hyperbole- an
exaggeration which is not meant to be taken literally.
The
following line contains hyperbolic language:
readability="5">
And my heart has touched thy
feet.
This is a hyperbole
given ones heart cannot touch another's feet, but the image of it projects a specific
feeling/thought.
