Which excerpt from the poem is an example of personification?

Answer 1

Personification means giving inanimate (non-living) things human attributes, like 'the sunlight danced with the clouds'.

A perfect example of personification is in these familiar poems:

The Cat & The Fiddle

Hey diddle, Diddle,

The cat and the fiddle,

The cow jumped over the moon;

The little dog laughed

To see such sport,

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Two Sunflowers

Two sunflowers

Move in the Yellow Room.

"Ah, William, we're weary of weather,"

said the sunflowers, shining with dew.

"Our traveling habits have tired us.

Can you give us a room with a view?"

They arranged themselves at the window

and counted the steps of the sun,

and they both took root in the carpet

where the topaz tortoises run.

William Blake
