the very houses seem asleep;

Explanation:

And all that mighty heart is lying still! The most striking figure of speech in the poem is personification.

Answer 2

The figure of speech used here is personification.

• Personification happens when a thing or reflection is addressed as a person, in writing or craftsmanship, as a human allegory.
• Personification is the point at which you give an article or creature human practices.
• An illustration of personification would be in the nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle," where "the little dog chuckled to see such tomfoolery." Anthropomorphism is the point at which you make an item or creature dress and act like a human.
• Personification is a kind of non-literal language where non-human things are portrayed as having human credits, as in the sentence, "The downpour poured down on the wedding visitors, indifferent to their arrangements."
• Describing the downpour as "indifferent" is an illustration of personification, since downpour can't be "indifferent," nor would it be able to feel some other human inclination.
