What literally devices are used in "The Blind Seer Of Ambon" and tell me which sentence that has the devices in

The entire poem:

I always knew that I came from
another language

and now even when I can no longer see
I continue to arrive at words

but the leaves
and the shells were already here
and my fingers finding them echo
the untold light and depth

I was betrayed into my true calling
and denied in my advancement
I may have seemed somewhat strange
caring in my own time for living things
with no value that we know
languages wash over them one wave at a time

when the houses fell
in the earthquake
I lost my wife
and my daughter
it all roared and stood still
falling
where they were in daylight

I named for my wife a flower
as though I could name a flower
my wife dark and luminous
and not there
I lost the drawings of the flowers
in fire

I lost the studies
of the flowers
my first six books in the sea

then I saw that the flowers themselves
were gone
they were indeed gone
I saw
that my wife was gone
then I saw that my daughter was gone
afterwards my eyes themselves were gone

one day I was looking
at infinite small creatures
on the bright sand
and the next day is this
hearing after music
so this is the way I see now
I take a shell in my hand
new to itself and to me
I feel the thinness the warmth and the cold
I listen to the water
which is the story welling up
I remember the colors and their lives
everything takes me by surprise
it is all awake in the darkness

Answer:

and my fingers finding them echo= SYNECDOCHE ("fingers " is a representation of the entire man (speaker of the poem) himself)

 I may have seemed somewhat strange = ALLITERATION (repetition of "s")

 it all roared and stood still= PERSONIFICATION ('it" refers to house" who was figuratively described as something that roar as it fell)

 I named for my wife a flower= METAPHOR (comparing his wife and the flower)

 then I saw that the flowers themselves

were gone

they were indeed gone

I saw

that my wife was gone

then I saw that my daughter was gone

afterwards my eyes themselves were gone= EPIPHORA

 I listen to the water

which is the story welling up= METAPHOR (comparing the water and the story)

Explanation:

SYNECDOCHE

-When a part represents the whole, as in the statement "hired hands" for workmen, or when the entire represents a part, as in the use of the word "society" to refer to elite society, a synecdoche occurs.

 ALLITERATION

-The objective of alliteration is to generate an auditory pulse that provides a piece of writing a lulling, lyrical, and/or emotive effect by repeating the same sound at the start of a series of words in succession. Alliteration can be seen in this paragraph.

 PERSONIFICATION

-When you give an object or animal human behaviors, you've personified it.

 METAPHOR

-Figure of speech in which one word or phrase describing one type of object or thought is substituted for another to imply a similarity or analogy between them.

 EPIPHORA

-An epiphora is a phrase or word that repeats itself at the end of a clause.
