"i like to see it lap the miles" by emily dickinson i like to see it lap the miles, and lick the valleys up, and stop to feed itself at tanks; and then, prodigious, step around a pile of mountains, and, supercilious, peer in shanties by the sides of roads; and then a quarry pare to fit its sides, and crawl between, complaining all the while in horrid, hooting stanza; then chase itself down hill and neigh like boanerges; then, punctual as a star, stop—docile and omnipotent— at its own stable door. this poem describes a train as if it were a horse. what literary device does the poet use in this poem? apostrophe extended simile misery extended metaphor

In a 10-12 sentence response-style paragraph, explore the degree to which you agree or disagree with faulkner’s message. “i believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. the poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to him endure and prevail” (faulkner 773-775).
