Question

which poetic device is used in this line
We heard, we knew we heard the brook.

Answer 1

Answer:

alliteration

Explanation:

* Alliteration is one of the devices Frost uses within his poem. He uses it twice. Once when he writes, “But once within the wood, we paused” and also when he writes, “We heard, we knew, we heard the brook.” The later almost sounds like a riddle. The repeated use of the consonant 'w' emphasizes the words used.

Going for Water by Robert Frost is a poem about the importance of preserving rivers and brooks. In this poem, the poet says that his brother (or sister) and himself were not allowed to go out of their house. Many years ago they had known a brook behind their house across the fields. One summer day, when there was no water in their well, they went out in search of the brook. The poem further describes their journey through fields until they reach the brook
