The poet uses personification by making the night a character that can move and see. This is evident in the way night is described as climbing, having breath, and possessing ravenous eyes, attributing human-like qualities and actions to it.
“Night climbed the horizon like a cat on the prowl;
Its breath was the wind that began to howl,
The piercing stars were its ravenous eyes,
Eclipsing the light to reveal its guise.”
