Identify and explain the figure of speech in any one of the following extracts
a) Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words from mankind !
Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth
The trumphet of a prophecy ! O Wind,
If winter comes, can spring be far behind ?
It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,

Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.​
