Their are two poetic devices.

Denotation and connotation.

Denotation: refers to the literal meaning of a word, the "dictionary definition"

Connotation: refers to the associations that are connected to a certain word or the emotional suggestions related to that word.

The denotation of "old" is having lived or existed for a relatively long period of time. The connotation for "old" means the vast knowledge obtained through the years.
