Like burnt-out torches by sick man's bed Which technique is being used

English
1 answer:
Liono4ka [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches.<u> The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like".</u> Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. <u>Comparisons that use support words are called </u><u>simile.</u> They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.

Meaning of 'your eyes dried seeds, your body a husk of light' ingrid jonker
vredina [299]

The quoted line is from the poem of ‘Persephone the Greek Goddess of Spring’ by Ingrid Jonker. The line ‘your eyes dried seeds, your body a husk of light’ means that—in your eyes dried seeds, it is trying to point out the daughter of Persephone, in which it symbolizes the way of her daughter going back to the underground while her mother didn’t even paid attention to the nature, in which she should. Your body a husk of light is trying to point out the last time Persephone saw her daughter.
