The Knight by Rainer Maria Rilke

Question

In which line does the poet use alliteration?

a. "God's flags afloat on every wall"
b. "The Knight rides forth in a coat of mail"
c. "And friend and foe, and the feast in the hall,"
d. "Into the roar of the world."

Answer 1

The poet uses alliteration in line b. "The Knight rides forth in a coat of mail." Here, the repetition of the initial 'c' sound in "coat" and "mail" creates an alliterative effect.
