What figure of speech has been used in this line from "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot?

Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.

The figure of speech that has been used in this line from "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot is
Winter kept us warm, covering is a metaphor for a blanket
"feeding a little life with dried tubers" is another metaphor as though a plant with roots
hope it helps
