The literary device used in the phrase 'fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds' is metaphor. The description likens raindrops to 'needles' without using 'like' or 'as,' which characterizes it as a metaphor.
What literary device does Joyce employ when he describes the rain as 'fine incessant needles of water playing in the sodden beds'?(1 point)
