4. wanted to be
5. when he went downstairs paul took a carriage and drove up fifth avenue toward the park. the
6. snow had somewhat abated; carriages and tradesmen’s wagons were hurrying soundlessly to and fro
7. in the winter twilight; boys in woolen mufflers were shoveling off the doorsteps; the avenue stages
8. made fine spots of color against the white street. here and there on the corners were stands, with
9. whole flower gardens blooming under glass cases, against the sides of which the snowflakes stuck and
10. melted; violets, roses, carnations, lilies of the valley—somehow vastly more lovely and alluring that
11. they blossomed thus unnaturally in the snow. the park itself was a wonderful stage winterpiece.
12. when he returned, the pause of the twilight had ceased and the tune of the streets had changed.
13. the snow was falling faster, lights streamed from the hotels that reared their dozen stories fearlessly up
14. into the storm, defying the raging atlantic winds. a long, black stream of carriages poured down the
15. avenue, intersected here and there by other streams, tending horizontally. there were a score of cabs
16. about the entrance of his hotel, and his driver had to wait. boys in livery were running in and out of

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
