Read the poem and select the text that shows an example of hyperbole. sketch by carl sandburg the shadows of the ships rock on the crest in the low blue lustre of the tardy and the soft inrolling tide. a long brown bar at the dip of the sky puts an arm of sand in the span of salt. the lucid and endless wrinkles draw in, lapse and withdraw. wavelets crumble and white spent bubbles wash on the floor of the beach. rocking on the crest in the low blue lustre are the shadows of the ships.
