Answer:
1. He would write, but his ours are <u>as busy as bees</u> in the sun. = <u>SIMILIE</u>
A similie is a literary device that shows a comparison between objects or individuals by making use of the words "like" or "as".
2. My <u>words </u>are <u>little jars</u> for you to take and put upon a shelf. Their shapes are quaint and beautiful, and they have many pleasant colors and lusters. = <u>METAPHOR</u>
A metaphor is an implicit comparison that usually contrasts things that are very different. In this case "My words" is being compared to "little jars".
3. All around the house is the jet-black night; <u>it stares</u> through the window-pane; <u>It crawls</u> in the corners, <u>hiding </u>from the light. = <u>PERSONIFICATION</u>
Personification takes place when an object has human attributes. In this sentence, "the night" stares, cralws and hides, these are all actions that can be performed by human beings.
4. Oh, never, if I <u>live to a million</u>, shall I feel such a grievous pain. = <u>HYPERBOLE</u>
This literary device is connected with the exaggeration of an idea. "If I live to a million" This is a clear instance of exaggeration since it is impossible for someone to live for so long.
5. But <u>words are things</u>, and a small drop of ink, falling, <u>like dew</u>, upon thought produces. = <u>METAPHOR - SIMILIE</u> "Words are things and a small drop of ink" this is a metaphor, an implicit comparison. "falling, like dew..." this is a similie.
6. And then <u>my heart</u> with <u>pleasure fills</u>, and <u>dances </u>with the daffodils. = <u>PERSONIFICATION</u>= "the heart" is filled with pleasure and dances, these are actions that only human beings can do and they are attributed to an object: the heart.
7. Sifted through the grass were daisies, <u>open-mouthed</u>, <u>wondering</u>, they <u>gazed </u>at the sun. = <u>PERSONIFICATION </u>= once more, but in this sentence "daisies" are attributed human traits.
8. With processions <u>so long</u> and winding with the <u>countless </u>torches lit. = <u>HYPERBOLE </u> This is, again, exaggeration.
9. My <u>brain is fire</u>--my <u>heart is lead</u>! Her <u>soul is flint</u>, and what am I? = <u>METAPHOR</u> A metaphor is an implicit comparison between things that are not alike, for example, in this sentence we find: "brain - fire" "heart - lead" and "soul - flint"
10. Carven cathedrals, on a sky of faintest colour, where the gothic spires fly and <u>sway like masts</u>, against a shifting breeze. = <u>SIMILIE</u>= A comparison made explicit by the use of the word "like" or "as"
