उत्तर
| Repetition | Simile |
| • And must wait, must stand and wait | • as cattle do, as drinking cattle do |
| • to feel so honoured I felt so honoured | • Lifted his head from his drinking, as cattle do |
| • And slowly and slowly very slowly | • He had come like a guest in quiet. |
| • I was afraid | • And lifted his head dreamily, as one who has tongue. |
| • I was most afraid | • And flickered his tongue like a forked night on the air |
| • from the burning bowels of the earth | • And looked around like a God |
| • Into the burning bowels of the earth | • writhed like lightning • he seemed to me again like a king. |
