Question

What are the two thing's the poet wordsworth compares to his boat while rowing in the poem the stolen boat?

Answer 1

Answer:

'My boat/Went heaving through the Water like a swan'- this is an instance of simile. Simile is a figure of speech where two things are compared in direct terms such as 'like' or 'as'. Here, the boat and the rower's agility are likened to a swan that goes gliding through the water.
