Which two of these poetic passages use alliteration for effect? PLEASE CHOOSE 2

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.
(Walt Whitman, "I Hear America Singing")

It was a spring that never came;
But we have lived enough to know
That what we never have, remains;
It is the things we have that go.
(Sara Teasdale, "Wisdom")

In a solitude of the sea
Deep from human vanity,
And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.
(Thomas Hardy, "The Convergence of the Twain")

Question: Which two of these poetic passages use alliteration for effect? PLEASE CHOOSE 2.

Answer: The correct two answers are:

  • (Sara Teasdale, "Wisdom")

It was a spring that never came;

But we have lived enough to know

That what we never have, remains;

It is the things we have that go.

  • (Thomas Hardy, "The Convergence of the Twain")

In a solitude of the sea

Deep from human vanity,

And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.

Explanation: Alliteration is the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables in a group of words. They can even be spelled differently.

In the poem "Wisdom" by Sara Teasdale, we can see the use of alliteration because of the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in the words ''came'' in the first line and ''remains'' in the third line, as well as the words ''know'' in the second line and ''go'' in the fourth line.  

In the poem "The Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy, we can  see the use of alliteration because of the repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in the words ''sea'' in the first line and ''she'' in the fourth line.

The two parts of these poetic passages use alliteration for effect are:

1. (Sara Teasdale, "Wisdom")

It was a spring that never came;

But we have lived enough to know

That what we never have, remains;

It is the things we have that go.

2. (Thomas Hardy, "The Convergence of the Twain")

In a solitude of the sea

Deep from human vanity,

And the Pride of Life that planned her, stilly couches she.

What is alliteration?

Alliteration is the reiteration of indistinguishable starting consonant sounds in progressive or firmly related syllables in a gathering of words. They might be spelled in an unexpected way.

In the sonnet "Shrewdness" by Sara Teasdale, we can see the utilization of alliteration in light of the reiteration of indistinguishable introductory consonant sounds in the words ''came'' in the primary line and ''stays'' in the third line, as well as the words ''know'' in the subsequent line and ''go'' in the fourth line.
