What poetic technique does Henry Wadsworth Longfellow use in this excerpt from the poem "The Day Is Done"?  The day is done, and the darkness  Falls from the wings of Night,  As a feather is wafted downward  From an eagle in his flight.

Answer:

Enjambment

Step-by-step explanation:

The author uses enjambment in this excerpt. Enjambment refers to the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond a line of poetry. In this case, the author does not stop a sentence at the end of a line of verse. Instead, he carries on with the idea through several lines.
