Iknew a woman, lovely in her bones,
when small birds sighed, she would sigh back at them;
ah, when she moved, she moved more ways than one:
the shapes a bright container can contain!
of her choice virtues only gods should speak,
or english poets who grew up on greek
(iíd have them sing in chorus, cheek to cheek). all of these types of figurative language appear in the excerpt above except

simile
imagery
allusion
hyperbole
