the excerpted lines from petrarch’s "sonnet 292" contain an example

the correct answer is metaphor.

The correct answer is that the excerpted lines from Petrarch's "Sonnet 292" contain an example of metaphor.

Petrarchan sonnets deal with romantic love in all its forms. This includes unrequited, eternal, desperate or tragic love. They main feature of romantic love in his poetry is the impossibility to achieve the loved one, who is venerated as an unattainable angel and how the poet suffers from this impossible love.

In this Sonnet 292, Petrarch is actually mourning a beautiful woman he loved and which has died. Now that she is dead, the poet has not only lost his loved one, but also the desire for writing poetry. This lost is reflected in the metaphor of the light. The light represents the woman who died, how she was regarded as a pure figure and lighted the poets existence, but it also stands for the desire for writing poetry that was so illuminating.

It can be argued that these lines also contain alliteration as seen in the line "Left here withoug the light I loved so much", but the main element is the metaphoric figure of the light and the love lost.
