"Whispers of Immortality" has two types of figurative language.The figurative language is personification and rhyme. The personification is in "Allayed the fever of the bone.",while the rhyme is "And saw the skull beneath the skin Leaned backward with a lip less grin."

Webster was much possessed by death

And saw the skull beneath the skin

And chest less creatures under ground

Leaned backward with a lip less grin.

Daffodil bulbs instead of eyeballs

Stared from the sockets of the eyes!

He knew that thought clings round dead limbs

Tightening its lusts and luxuries.

Done, I suppose, was such another

Who found no substitute for sense

To seize and clutch and pierce

Expert beyond experience

He knew the anguish of the marrow

The ague of the skeleton;

No contact possible to flesh

Allayed the fever of the bone.

I chose this poem because I liked how the author used figurative language to describe his meaning to certain phrases. For example, Eliot refers to skeletons when he says in the poem, "leaned backward with a lip less grin."
