Style in Poems by Rabindranath Tagore

Question 7 • TX-English IV B

Which line contains an example of personification?

Answer
A
“O master poet, I have sat down at thy feet.”
B
“. . . like a flute of reed for thee to fill with music.”
C
“My poet’s vanity dies in shame before thy sight.”
D
“Only let me make my life simple and straight . . .”

Explanation

Personification gives a human action or quality to something abstract or nonhuman. In choice C, “vanity” is described as dying, as though it were a living thing. The other lines use direct address or a comparison, rather than this kind of human action.
