Answer 1

This site has definitions of many figurative devices.

This sentence alone has at least one figurative device. Can you see what it is?

"On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics."

I'm sure you can find at least one more.
