I need to find literary devices in Edgar Allen Poe's poem Alone
Alone
From childhood's hour I have not been (Personification)
As others were; I have not seen (Repetition)
As others saw; I could not bring (Repetition)
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled (alliteration)
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
Im terrible at doing this crap, and yes English is my worst subject.
It would be much appreciated if you guys could help me find some more literary devices.
In line 12 Is "good and ill" a juxtaposition? A hurp. FML.
