Answer 2

'A Fortress of Falling Walls'

In this line two literary devices are used- Oxymoron and Alliteration.

• Oxymoron – Two words that are contradictory in meaning are placed together.

        Here, words- ‘fortress’ and ‘falling’ – are two contradictory

        words that are combined.

        Fortress means a small fort and word ‘falling’ denotes  

        something going down.

• Alliteration -When same sounds are repeated it is called alliteration.

        Here, sound 'f' is repeated in two words ‘fortress’ and

        ‘falling’.
