In the second stanza, the author describes the people present at the deathbed. They are also quiet, exhausted from their watch and preparing now for the final loss.

"The eyes beside had wrung them dry,

And breaths were gathering sure

For that last onset, when the king

Be witnessed in his power."

She uses one literary device called synecdoche, meaning a part of something refers to the whole. In this case, when the author talks about "the eyes", she means the mourners, the people next to her deathbed crying. She also uses comparison as she compares the eyes to the clouds in a storm, asking us readers to imagine each mourner as having a storm of grief in themselves.

Emily Dickinson represents her realist views about death through her poem “Dying.” She uses an emotionless, matter-of-fact tone to describe the death of the speaker and its aftermath. She talks about the light, the final onset, and the king to express her spiritual beliefs. She explores the relationship between nature and human beings by describing the appearance and movements of a fly as the speaker lays dying. Death, according to Dickinson, is not always peaceful, and the movement of the fly represents the turbulence in the journey toward the end.

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”

In this excerpt from "quality" by john galsworthy, which two parts clearly indicate the literary point of view of the essay? that tenement had a certain quiet distinction; there was no sign upon its face that he made for any of the royal family—merely his own german name of gessler brothers; and in the window a few pairs of boots. i remember that it always troubled me to account for those unvarying boots in the window, for he made only what was ordered, reaching nothing down, and it seemed so inconceivable that what he made could ever have failed to fit. had he bought them to put there? that, too, seemed inconceivable. he would never have tolerated in his house leather on which he had not worked himself. besides, they were too beautiful—the pair of pumps, so inexpressibly slim, the patent leathers with cloth tops, making water come into one's mouth, the tall brown riding boots with marvellous sooty glow, as if, though new, they had been worn a hundred years. those pairs could only have been made by one who saw before him the soul of boot—so truly were they prototypes incarnating the very spirit of all foot-gear. these thoughts, of course, came to me later, though even when i was promoted to him, at the age of perhaps fourteen, some inkling haunted me of the dignity of himself and brother. for to make boots—such boots as he made—seemed to me then, and still seems to me, mysterious and wonderful.
