What are some literary devices in stanza 12 of "The Raven"?I would like to know the allusion, parallelism, strong imagery, anaphora, and assonance

Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" is one of great balance and
rhythm; it is noted for its melodic qualities in its rhyming trochaic octameter.  Stanza
12 of this poem certainly exemplifies the beauty of Poe's poem. In it there are several
literary devices
employed:

Allusion

Poe
makes reference to the bust of Pallus, the bust of Athena, the godess of wisdom.  Also,
he refers to the raven as "this ominous bird of yore"; the raven has been historically
connected to magic, having been associated with witches and warlocks.  The Celts
believed that the goddesses of war called the ravens to feast upon the dead in
battlefields.  And, Native Americans associated the raven with death, as well,
perceiving it as a symbol of the transition into the
afterlife.

Parallelism

Poe's
poem is replete with parallelism.  For instance, in each line, Poe makes use of
participles lending rhythm to the lines.  In this stanza, the first and third lines are
parallel in sentence
structure.

Imagery

The
fifth line contains images of death:  "grim, ungainly, gaunt, and ominous bird of
yore."

Anaphora

The
repetition of the first set of words, or anaphora, is used in the first line of Stanza
12 as "But the Raven" is repeated from Stanza
10.

Assonance

The
repetition of vowel sounds followed by different cosonant sounds, occurs in the first
line of Stanza 12:  "sad fancy" as the /a/ sound is repeated with different cosonants,
/s/ and /f/

In the fourth line, "ominous bird of yore-- has
the /o/ repeated with different cosomants.
