I don’t love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz, 

  
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:   
I love you as one loves certain obscure things,   
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.
. I love you as the plant that doesn’t bloom but carries   
the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,   
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose   
from the earth lives dimly in my body
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to
love,
except in this form in which I am not nor are you,   
so close that your hand upon my chest is mine,   
so close that your eyes close with my dreams.
Simile
Assonance

Oxymoron

Metaphor

1. What particular figures of speech did you find?


2. How did it fit in the text?
3. Was it just right? or perhaps too overboard?

1. What particular figures of speech did you find?

So Far I have Identified 4 specifically Simile, Assonance, Oxymoron,


Metaphor.

2. How did it fit in the text?


The first time that I have read the text I was very confused there were many
things references going on everywhere. It was very hard to determine what the
writer is talking about, but eventually, I got the idea and realize all the similes and
metaphors really fit how the writer wants to express or Identify his feelings in the
moment because of love.
3. Was it just right? or perhaps too overboard?
Well I would not say it was just right. It was a little over the top in terms of
using figures of speech for example this line and I quote from it. “I love you as the
plant that doesn’t bloom but carries the light of those flowers, hidden, within itself,
and thanks to your love the tight aroma that arose from the earth lives dimly in my
body” I am not really a fan of love letters and love poems so for me reading
something like this it is hard to wrap my head around to what the writer is talking
about, but I would say it really is a mouthful.
