Need help, thank you! How does the poet use figurative language to portray the violets?

~~She uses the violets as a symbol of death and decay because they last such a short time.

~She describes the violets in great detail, especially the great variety in their sizes.

~~She criticizes the violets because they represent spring, a season she misses terribly.

~She personifies the violets, giving the flowers human qualities.


Poem: On Arranging a Bowl of Violets

by Grace Hazard Conkling



I dip my hands in April among your faces tender,

O woven of blue air and ecstasies of light!

Breathed words of the Earth-Mother—although it is November—

You wing my soul with memories adorable and white.

The garden that we haunted—its spaces of delight?

The sound of running water—the day’s long lapse of splendor,

The winds that begged our fragrance and loved us in the night?”
