Answer:

The first example of figurative language is seen in the first line. This line is an example of a simile because it is comparing being frozen and the clouds using the word "as". This line conveys meaning by directly comparing two things which makes it easier to understand its meaning. The line, "I leap beyond the winds" is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration. This makes it more dramatic and have a stronger meaning. Another simile is found in the line, "for my throat is keen as a sword". Once again it is comparing two things using the word "as" and in the case it is the narrators throat and a sword.
