Biting the blue finger.”

Answer:
Personification - ‘autumn fall on me’, ‘biting the blue finger’
Metaphor – ‘fireside haven’
Metonymy - 'blue finger’ instead of severe cold
Simile - ’white as meal’
Explanation:
Autumn signifies the beginning of old age.
The finger is blue because of the cold. When exposed to cold temperatures, the blood supply to the fingers or toes is depleted and the skin color turns blue.
There are instances of personification in lines one (autumn fall on me) and four (biting the blue finger), which also has metonymy (blue finger instead of severe cold).
"White as meal" is a simile, while "fireside haven" is a metaphor for a warm shelter.
