About figures of speech:

• Figures of speech are decorative use of language to enhance the beauty of conveying ideas.
• It is mainly used in poetry by poets for adorning.
• Some of the examples are simile, metaphor, pun, onomatopoeia, synecdoche, etc.,
• The sea is described with many adjectives like: mighty, glorious and dazzling.
• Then we have the word 'stretching' associated with it. The writer says that the sea stretches into infinity. So it means that sea that is inanimate is given a human form/ living form.
• If a lifeless object/ thing is given human/ living form, then the figure of speech used is called 'personification'.
