O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been

When that strange shape drove suddenly

Betwixt us and the Sun.

Is conquered at last.

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

irony: <em>Thank Heaven! the crisis— The danger is past, And the lingering illness Is over at last— And the fever called "Living" Is conquered at last. (from “For Annie” by Edgar Allan Poe) You don't expect death to be the end of the crisis. In reading this you would initially think the person got better and was living.</em>

synecdoche: <em>The western wave was all a-flame The day was well nigh done! Almost upon the western wave Rested the broad bright Sun; When that strange shape drove suddenly Betwixt us and the Sun. (from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) This example talks about a wave (part) when the speaker is really talking about the ocean (whole). </em>

Symbols: <em>Ah, sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun; Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller’ s journey is done; (from “Ah! Sun-flower” by William Blake) In the poem he's using the sunflower as a symbol.</em>

Metonymy: <em>O, for a draught of vintage! that hath been Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth, Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth! (from “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats) In the selection, he's not just drinking the wine, he's also drinking everything that went into growing and making the wine.</em>
