Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride, booted and spurred, with a heavy stride on the opposite shore walked paul revere. now he patted his horse’s side, now gazed at the landscape far and near, then, impetuous, stamped the earth, and turned and tightened his saddle girth; but mostly he watched with eager search the belfry-tower of the old north church, as it rose above the graves on the hill, lonely and spectral and somber and still. and lo! as he looks, on the belfry’s height a glimmer, and then a gleam of light! he springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns, but lingers and gazes, till full on his sight a second lamp in the belfry burns!

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
