Example:
An excerpt from Peter Redgrove’s Lazarus and the Sea contains imagery:
The tide of my death came whispering like this Soiling my
body with its tireless voice.
I scented the antique moistures when they sharpened
The air of my room, made the rough wood of my bed, (most dear), Standing
out like roots in my tall grave.
Diction refers to the selection of words in a literary work. A work’s diction forms one
of its centrally important literary elements as writers use words to convey action,
reveal character, imply attitudes, identify themes, and suggest values. It includes the
formality of the language, the emotional content, the imagery, the specificity, and the
sounds of the words.
Example:
“I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that East doth hold.”
- Anne Bradstreet, “To My Dear and Loving Husband”
• The use of antiquated words such as “thy” instead of “your” and “doth” instead
of “do” gives the poem a formal diction.
• These antiquated words are considered grand, elevated, and sophisticated
language.
FIGURES OF SPEECH
Figures of speech are words or phrases used in a non-literal sense for rhetorical or
vivid effect.

sometimes also figurative language, that constitute any work of literature.
Figure of speech is an expression that departs from the accepted literal sense or
from the normal order of words, or in which an emphasis is produced by patterns of
