The figurative language used in these stanzas is METAPHOR.

Metaphor is the comparison of two unrelated object without the use of LIKE and AS.

The shadow is compared to the sunlight on a plate of silver.
The footsteps is compared to the seeding-place of lilies
The hand movements is compared to a chime of bells across a windless air, long, golden running of light from a rising sun, and the hopping of birds upon a garden-path.

In this way, when you see the sunlight on a plate of silver, you will think about the shadow it was compared to and vice versa.

Is the following an example of a simile, metaphor, paradox, or personification?
Hoochie [10]
Metaphor

The answer is not a paradox.
Similes use 'like' or 'as' to compare two objects or situations.
Personification is when you give a n object human-like traits.
That leaves us with Metaphor

Which word from the lines below best helps the reader to understand the meaning of "mast"?
Wittaler [7]

Some of the ways to identify the meaning of a word based on the available context are:

  • Read and understand the text/sentence

  • Write out on a pad the original meaning of the word

  • Read the particular sentence aloud where the word whose meaning you want to find

  • For example, if your sentence that contains the word "mast" goes like this: "At his burial, the flag was flown at half-mast", you can directly infer that this is a sign of respect.

  • With this in mind, you can see that the meaning of the word "mast" based on the context used means that a dead person is being honored and this is an upright post that a flag is attached to.

  • Therefore, the meaning would be "an upright pole"

<h3>What are Context Clues?</h3>

This refers to the use of hints and clues to give a reader some perspective about the meaning of a word, or phrase based on the given context.

It is worth noting that connotative meanings are the implied meanings of a word that is the secondary meaning of a word and this is used based on the available context of a sentence.
