Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.

iragen [17]

The correct answer is "Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;"

Alliteration is the same sound or letter at the beginning of words which are close together.

The alliteration in this line can be spotted at "winnowing wind" because the words begin with the same letters and are close together.
