Question

poetic device used in terribly transient feet

Answer 1

Hi friend,

Poetic devices used in terribly transient feet are:-

1) Alliteration-the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words

2) Transferred Epithet- a figure of speech in which an adjective grammatically qualifies a noun other than the person or thing it is actually describing.


Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Transient means something which is temporary or short-lived. Here, when the author says terribly transient feet, she refers to the ever changing imprints of the feet left on the sea sand. The sea never appears to change but the human life is transient
