I think the poetic device used here is oxymoron.

ANSWER:

The poetic device that is used in this line is 'Antithesis'.

EXPLANATION:

This is a type of poetic device in which entirely opposite ideas are conveyed. This creates a feeling of contrasting effects in the sentence. The sentence will include contrasting clauses or words within a parallel grammatical structure.

Many works such as novels include this type of poetic device. The contrasting ideas, which are set in parallel structures, emphasize the conflicting issues in the novel.

An example for this is: Brutus is described as 'noblest of all Romans'. This is taken from Shakespeare's Julius Caeser. We all know that Brutus was the one who killed Julius. But in contrast to this fact, Shakespeare has included this poetic device in an interesting manner.
