The poem is predicated on love; it is surgical on the poet-persona’s heartfelt, and intelligent proposal to his lover who, by the virtue of some sociopolitical constraint of the era, must be convinced of the chemistry beyond reasonable doubts.
The figures of speech used in Robert Frost’s poem, “Mending Wall”, are simile, metaphor, rhetorical question, assonance, and alliteration.
Beginning from the point of view of symbolism, “bird” is a natural symbol of freedom—quite a birth right. This kind of freedom is intrinsic
Themes in “The Rape of the Lock” include the themes of triviality, misplaced priorities, vanity, love, and fate.
The underlying figurative implication of the poet expression and description of the bird, ‘bat’, strikes the reader as a discourse with a contemptuous note.
When God at first made man, Having a glass of blesings standing by; Let us, said he, pour on him all we can:

Your hair is lost in the forest, your feet touching mine.
All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts,
The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster,
I wonder lonely as a cloud That floats on high over valleys and hills When all at once I saw a crowd …
T. S. Eliot’s The Journey of the Magi is replete with several figures of speech. Some of which are alliteration, rhetorical question, pun, pathetic fallacy, synecdoche, and allusion.
Your children are not your children./They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
The figures of speech in the poem that can be found in D. H. Lawrence’s poem, Bat, are simile, repetition, rhetorical question, metaphors, personification and alliteration.
David Herbert Lawrence’s Bat foregrounds the poet persona’s sheerful disdain for bats. He portrays bats as “disgusting old rags” “grinning in their sleep”.
The poet persona tries to make us see another aspect of the people supposedly called “terrorist” and “hostile militant”. Some of these are just “freedom fighter” and “guerrilla warrior”. Not necessarily the bad names they are called. Children, martyrs enshrouded in cloaks of humanity — not monsters as they are often portrayed by the press.

A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays
My aspens dear, whose airy cages quelled, | Quelled or quenched in leaves the leaping sun,
