Answer:
The given passage is taken from "Billy Bud, Sailor" written by Herman Melville.
Explanation:
The text appears in Chapter 13 of the novel.
Billy Bud is a sailor and the protagonist of the novel.
The narrator in this text is referring to Claggart's passions. The narrator states that passions can bring a person to his lowest point and it does not require 'palatial stage' to be provoked. In this passage, Claggart had started to resent Billy.

It is Onomatopoeia and Alliteration I believe
