To Earthward by Robert Frost?

Someone want to help me with finding literary devices? THANKS SO MUCH!








Love at the lips was touch


As sweet as I could bear;


And once that seemed too much;


I lived on air





That crossed me from sweet things,


The flow of -- was it musk


From hidden grapevine springs


Down hill at dusk?





I had the swirl and ache


From sprays of honeysuckle


That when they're gathered shake


Dew on the knuckle.





I craved strong sweets, but those


Seemed strong when I was young;


The petal of the rose


It was that stung.





Now no joy but lacks salt


That is not dashed with pain


And weariness and fault;


I crave the stain





Of tears, the aftermark


Of almost too much love,


The sweet of bitter bark


And burning clove.





When stiff and sore and scarred


I take away my hand


From leaning on it hard


In grass and sand,





The hurt is not enough:


I long for weight and strength


To feel the earth as rough


To all my length.

To Earthward by Robert Frost?
ambiguity: (where a statement contains two or more meanings) are these lines from Robert Frost's "To Earthward"





Love at the lips was touch


As sweet as I could bear;


And once that seemed too much;


I lived on air





The last line, "I lived on air" can be said to be ambiguous since the phrase can have two meanings. You can literally "live on air," or it can be seen as an expression of emotion and feeling.
