Ulysses by Alfred, Lord Tennyson is a richly figurative poem, with several literary devices used to convey meaning and add depth to the text. Some of the figures of speech used in the poem include:

Alliteration: This is the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of consecutive words or syllables, to create a musical or rhythmic effect. For example, "To sail beyond the sunset" (line 60)

"Silent, thoughtful for a while" (line 71)

"Some work of noble note" (line 84)

Metaphor: a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as."

"I am a part of all that I have met" (line 19)

"Life piled on life / Were all too little" (lines 49-50)

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" (line 70)

 Personification: This is a figure of speech in which human qualities are attributed to non-human entities. For instance, in the line, "The deep moans round with many voices," the sea is personified as having the ability to moan like a human.

"The gleaming twilight of the dreams of youth" (line 8)

"The deep-delved earth" (line 32)

"The still hearth" (line 44)

 Hyperbole: This is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally, used to emphasize a point. For example, in the line, "All times I have enjoy'd greatly, have suffer'd greatly," Ulysses uses hyperbole to emphasize the extremes of his experiences.

"I am a part of all that I have met" (line 19)

"Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough / Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades / Forever and forever when I move" (lines 23-25)

"To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths / Of all the western stars" (lines 60-61)

Assonance: This is the repetition of vowel sounds within words or syllables, to create a musical effect. For instance, in the line, "To follow knowledge like a sinking star," the repetition of the "o" sound in "follow" and "knowledge" creates a sense of unity and musicality.

Imagery: This is the use of vivid and descriptive language to create mental images and sensory impressions. For example, the line "thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades vext the dim sea" creates a vivid image of a stormy sea and the dark clouds above it.

Symbolism: the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities.

"The deep-delved earth" symbolizes the passage of time and the depth of experience.

"The sounding furrows" symbolizes the journey of life and the difficulties that must be overcome.

"To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" symbolizes the pursuit of personal growth and achievement.

 These are just a few of the figures of speech used in the poem. Overall, the rich use of literary devices adds depth, complexity, and beauty to Ulysses, making it a classic example of Victorian poetry.
