Please give an acount of all the figures of speech in the poem "The Slave's Dream."

To identify the figures of speech you need to look at the
dream that the slave has as he lies on his plantation, near death. Consider the way
that, as he rides his horse, a metaphor is used to describe the reins as being like
"golden chains" that serve to emphasise the wealth and nobility of his life before he
was transported to work as a slave. The "blood-red flamingoes" are described using a
simile as being "like a blood-red flag," just as the sounds of the "water-horse" passing
are described as being "like a glorious roll of drums." The setting of this free Africa
is personified in the following stanza:

readability="12">

The forests, with their myriad
tongues,

Shouted of
liberty;

And the Blast of the Desert cried
aloud,

With a voice so wild and
free...

Note how the forests
are compared to people shouting of "liberty" and the Desert likewise is able to cry out
with "a voice so wild and free." Lastly, a metaphor is used to describe the body of the
slave in the final stanza, as it is said to be "a worn-out fetter" that the soul had
left.
