Personification
WRONG
I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two things without using "like" or "as." In this line, the sails are compared to something from heaven, suggesting that they are motionless and still. This comparison is not meant to be taken literally, but rather to enhance the imagery and create a deeper meaning.
