Question

'were withered away,for what use was pace'the figure of speech​

Answer 1

Answer:

The figure of speech used in these lines is ‘Simile.’ The poet uses the expression “ashen like that of a corpse” to compare the face of her aging mother to that of a corpse. Such a comparison between two different entities used to make a description more vivid is called a simile. Another example of a simile is the phrase ‘as clever as a fox.’
