Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Simile. A Simile is a literary device in with a word or phrase is used to compare or describe another thing. In Simile one thing is like the other, so the word “like” or “as” is used to show the comparison between two things.
Detailed explanation-2: -The similes occur early in the poem (“as a cloud”; “as the stars”). After that the poem becomes more metaphorical. One of the most pervasive metaphors is that the flowers are dancing. The word is used in some form in every stanza of the poem (dancing, dance, danced, dances).
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the simile in the first verse? An: I wandered lonely as a cloud‟, is the simile in the first verse.
Detailed explanation-4: -Personification: Personification is to give human qualities to inanimate objects. The cloud is personified throughout the poem. For example, “I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers”, “I am the daughter of Earth and Water” and “I silently laugh at my own cenotaph.”
