Which of the following statements BEST describes how you should approach identifying causes to write about in an analysis? A: Usually you will only be able to speculate about probable causes. B: Causes will always be obvious. C: You should analyze all possible causes. D: It is unnecessary to do research to identify possible causes.

One of the literary devices used in the poem is Metaphor.

Metaphor is one of the most widely used literary devices. It occurs when the write refers to a meaning or identity ascribed to one subject by way of another.

Explanation:

In the first 5 lines, you see Lawrence applying attributes of living things to non-living things.

For example:

a)  "When the sun from the west, beyond Pisa, beyond the mountains of Carrara  Departs,..."

b) "When the tired flower of Florence is in gloom..."

In A he says "the sun departs" instead of "the sun sets"

in B he posits that the flower of Florence is tired and gloomy.

Overall tonality is one of sadness and he uses metaphoric imagery to communicate this perfectly.

Cheers!
