Question

Leave my loneliness unbroken!--quit the bust above my door! Take they beak from out of my heart, and take thy form from off my door!
What poetic device is used?

Answer 1

The above lines are quoted from the poem ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Alan Poe. The poetic device used in the above lines is the metaphor. A metaphor is a literary device in which the thing is contemplated to be symbolic of something abstract.

In the above lines, the poet is sure that the raven is a messenger from hell, which is tormenting him about the death of Lenore.

“Take thy beak from out of my heart, and take thy form from off my door!”

The above line clearly states how much hurt the poet is. Metamorphically, Raven’s presence is tormenting him psychologically and physically.
