Question

Use the excerpt from the poem "Late September" by Amy Lowell to answer the question.

Warmth of earth, and cloudless wind

Tearing off the husky rind,

Blowing feathered seeds to fall

By the sun-baked, sheltering wall.

In three to five sentences, explain how the poet uses figurative language to express meaning in this stanza.

Answer 1

In her poem "Late September," Amy Lowell uses personification when she gives the human attributes to the inanimate and the abstract concepts of the "warmth of the earth" and "cloudless wind." In the lines " Warmth of earth, and cloudless wind and TEARING off the husky rind," Amy talks of the "warmth of the earth" and "cloudless wind" as if they were human beings with the ability of tearing the husky rind.
