There was found a case of simile (fresh faces like rose petals) . The author used such figures of contrast as oxymoron (cheerful snobbery‚ sweet fever)‚ antithesis (there was a certain struggle and a certain relief).

Analysis by N. Mohsin Autobiography‚ by Louis MacNeice In my childhood trees were green And there was plenty to be seen. Come back early or never come. My father made the walls resound‚ He wore his collar the wrong way round. Come back early or never come. My mother wore a yellow dress; Gentle‚ gently‚ gentleness. Come back early or never come. When I was five the black dreams came; Nothing after was quite the same. Come back early or never come. The dark was talking
