Answer:

Personification as well as Metaphor.

Explanation:

Hello Tanvir!

The curfew tolls the knell of perting day is the line from an Ellegy written by Thomas Gray.

In this line:

The curfew is tolling the knell like a Sexton and the day is dying like a man. So it is an example of Personification. It is also an example of Metaphor because here the evening is compared to the death.

I hope it helps!
