What type of figurative language do you have in bold in the following quote? "She had a very thin face like the dial of a small clock seen faintly in a dark room in the

middle of a night when you waken to see the time and see the clock telling you the hour

and the minute and the second, with a white silence and a glowing, all certainty and

knowing what it has to tell of the night passing swiftly on toward further darknesses but

moving also toward a new sun.
