Lost written by John Milton.
In summary, the poem describes the
approach of evening and the animals settling in for the nightexcept for the Nightingale that
will sing all night long. Then stars appear in the sky and are then joined by the moon: they
illuminate the darkness with light.
In the first two lines, the reader
recognizes theused in the form of .
Personification
is:
...ain which abstractions, animals, ideas, and
inanimate objects are endowed with human form, character, traits, or sensibilities
"Evening" is referred to with the possessive pronoun
"her," and the poet describes that she has "clad"
(clothed) all things in the color of "Twilight gray." The idea of clothing
somethingand being clothedis a human behavior, and the "Evening" is not human, but
given human characteristics.
