Excerpt from Gulliver's Travels
by Jonathan Swift
I heard a confused noise about me; but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time, I felt something alive moving on my left
leg which, advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when, bending my eyes downward, as much as I could, 1 perceived
it to be a human creature, not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. In the meantime I felt at least forty more
of the same kind (as I conjectured) following the first.
I was in the utmost astonishment, and roared so loud that they all ran back in a fright, and some of them, as I was afterwards told, were hurt with the
falls they got by leaping from my sides upon the ground. However, they soon returned, and one of them, who ventured so far as to get a full sight of
my face, lifting up his hands and eyes by way of admiration, cried out in a shrill, but distinct voice--Hekinah degut the others repeated the same
words several times, but I then knew not what they meant.

Read the excerpt from “to one in paradise,” by edgar allan poe. thou wast all that to me, love . . a fountain and a shrine, all wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, and all the flowers were mine. how does poe use a sound device in the excerpt? he uses assonance to connect the images of architecture. he uses alliteration to draw attention to the images of his love. he uses cacophony to create a discordant sound of loss. he uses internal rhyme to enhance the rhythm of his lyrical poem.
