      Following literary devices/figures of speech have been used in the poem A Photograph:

      1. Alliteration: It is the use of the same sound at the beginning of words that are close together. e.g. “my mother’s hands”, “stood still to smile”, “terribly transient feet”, “silence silences”.
      2. Transferred Epithet: It is a literary device in which an adjective is usually used to describe one thing is transferred to another. e.g. “washed their terribly transient feet”.
      3. Personification: It is the attribution of human characteristics to non-human things and animals. e.g. “The cardboard shows me how it was”. Here the cardboard is acting like humans.
      4. Oxymoron: It is the combination of two words that seem to be the opposite of each other. e.g. “laboured ease”.
