"I hear American siniging the varied carols I hear"
Is this a) onomatopea
b) anaphora
c)Aliteration
d)Antithesis

If you mean "I hear America singing...", then yes, it's personification.
What is the irony is this passage?
In that direction, my windows commanded an unobstructed view of a lofty brick wall, black by age and everlasting shade; which wall required no spy-glass to bring out its lurking beauties, but, for the benefit of all near-sighted spectators, was pushed up to within ten feet of my window panes.
I know that irony means opposite but I am not sure where the irony is.
Is it the wall is black but there is lurking beauties?
