The figure of speech used here is a transferred epithet.

  • A transferred epithet is when the attribute or action is being done by someone or something else, but the credit goes to something or someone else.
  • For example, here the 'polished traffic' refers to the shiny cars in the traffic.
  • Yet, the 'polished traffic', meaning the cars, are said to have a 'mind' that is focussed on going ahead.
  • In reality, it is the people in the cars who have a 'mind'.
  • Thus, the mind of the people is being transferred to the cars.
  • It is a creative way of expressing oneself.
  • We normally do not use the transferred epithet, but poets and authors do.
