Which literary device is used to highlight the power of a skylark's song in these lines from a poem? Like a poet hidden In the light of thought; Singing hymns unbidden, Till the world is wrought To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not. (from "Ode to a Skylark" by Percy Bysshe Shelly) allusion analogy oxymoron foreshadowing

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

So basically this line just suggests that a poet is thinking and singing.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

An allusion is very subtle and hard to define.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

An analogy is a comparison between one thing and another.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you think its analogy? @KyanTheDoodle

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Not exactly. It might be an analogy, but it could also be an allusion. All I know is that it's not an oxymoron or foreshadow.
