Eleonora by Edgar Allan Poe (1842)
Rethorical devices
Metaphor
My sweetie sentence
Personification
Nature has condemned me to suffering because it made me as beautiful as likely to die
Oxymoron
Besides, my lover is unlovely and his acts offer me a deathless death

I wouldn’t be caught dead letting him go. I can’t beat around the bush, it’s hard. As far as I know, I’m not playing with a full deck.
Simile
My mood is just the way the temperature varies at night because I’m confused; one day you kiss and make love in the Valley of the Many-Colored Grass and the next day you’ve got to appreciate (in fact, to observe disgustedly) your lover’s got a paramour.

To make emphasis on the perspective of Eleonora about her lover and her lover’s paramour
