I googled "figures of speech" and came up with this webpage. Just read through it and it should give you just what you want!! From a quick look, I'd say

figures of repetition
perhaps hyperbole
perhaps anaphora

Hope that helps.

Emily Dickinson continuously has a intensity in her poetry and in spite of the actuality that this feels like a throwing 'warning to the wind' or in simple terms being 'loose' i think of that the poem conversing approximately having intimate kin with the only the speaker is thinking of, besides the undeniable fact that it's not available. If it have been available not something ought to grant up it (not wind)-they may be going into uncharted territory (finished w/ the compass, chart)-and it would be impressive (rowing in 'paradise').
