in which phrase does dickens use figurative language?
read the passage from charles dickens's hard times,

interminable [unending) serpents of smoke trailed

where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and
where the piston of the steam-engine worked
monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in
a state of melancholy madness.
