Answer 2

Answer:

'A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard

In spring-time from the cuckoo bird

Breaking the silence of the seas'

In these last lines of the poem, 'The Solitary Reaper' , the poet has used Hyperbole or exaggeration as the poetic device.

Explanation:

• A writer or speaker  uses hyperbole, exaggerates for the purpose of emphasis. Exaggerated comments that are meant to accentuate a point rather than be accepted literally are known as hyperbolic statements.

• For example, Her face is as bright as sunshine. Here, exaggeration    or hyperbole is used. And literally means that her face is bright and     glowing.
• In the last line of the poem, 'The Solitary Reaper' because of  the young woman's song's melodic quality, the poet says  that the song of the solitary reaper is as beautiful, pure and melodic as that of nightingales and cuckoo birds  However, he exaggerates when he says that her music is superior to theirs, therefore it turns out to be hyperbole.

• "Breaking the silence of the seas' again is an exaggeration as  the poet, who is completely enthralled by her song thinks that the song is so thrilling that the silence of the frozen seas of Scotland is broken by it. This again is an exaggeration or Hyperbole.
