hi i asked for help on this poem before but not its for something new. I need to find a word or phrase in this poem this is figurative and literal at the same time. I already have used "breathe" and "drink" as figurative and literal. Please help me find other words or phrases that would have both a literal and figurative meaning.
Night
by Louise Bogan
The Cold remote islands
And the blue estuaries
Where what breathes, breathes
The restless wind of the inlets
And what drinks, drinks
The incoming tide;
Where shell and weed
Wait upon the salt wash of the sea,
And the clear nights of stars
Swing their lights westward
To set behind the land;
Where the clinging to the rocks
Renews itself forever;
Where, again on cloudless nights,
The water reflects
the firmament's partial setting;
-O remember
In your narrowing dark hours
That more things move
Than blood in the heart.
thanks!
