Metaphor is the literary device in which two disconnected/different things are compared. Simile is also a comparison between two disconnected things, but simile uses words such as "like" or "as", while metaphor simple states that "one thing is another".

"<em>The crest of each of these waves was a hill</em>, from the top of which men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse, shining and wind-riven." - Metaphor.

"As each wave came, and she [the boat] rose for it, <em>she seemed like</em> a horse making at a fence outrageously high." - Simile.

Personification gives human characteristics to objects, animals or ideas.

"If <em>this old fool woman, Fate</em>, cannot do better than this..." - Personification.

Symbolism is when a word is used to symbolize something else. In this example, "uncertainties" represent the waves.

"The open boat is described as 'bobbing along among the universe's uncertainties." - Symbolism.

According to "Make it New": Early Modernism, which type of traditional poetry influenced early modernist poets? sonnet allegory
Kitty [74]
According to "Make it New," the type of traditional poetry that most strongly influenced modernist poets was the "haiku."  A number of modernist poets were influenced by the poetic form of the haiku. The form of the haiku focus on providing precise and focused images and ideas, with very little direct commentary or observation from the author.  A number of Modernist poets, who felt that poetry should exclude the direct view point of the author and provide a sharp and distinct  image in words, found this ancient poetic form to be attractive and useful.
