by Gwendolyn Bennett

Her voice is like clear water

That drips upon a stone

In forests far and silent

Where Quiet plays alone.

The two types of figurative language used in the lines of "Fantasy" by Gwendolyn Bennett are:

  1. Simile - The comparison of her voice to clear water is a simile, as it uses "like" to draw the comparison.
  2. Personification - The mention of "Quiet plays alone" gives human-like qualities to "Quiet," which is an example of personification.

  • simile
  • personification
