Which poetic devices are used in the poem Paradise Lost book 8?

Milton's Paradise Lost is known for its rich use of literary devices. It is famous, for example, for its lush imagery. Imagery is describing using the five senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. In the passage from Book VIII below Milton's imagery pictures the earth as Adam first experiences it when he awakens in Paradise. Adam says to the angel Raphael that he:

Stood on my feet: about me round I saw
Hill, dale, and shady woods, and sunny plains,
And liquid lapse of murmuring streams; by these,
Creatures that lived and moved, and walked, or flew

In the above passage, Milton employs visual images such as "shady woods," but also sound images, such "murmuring streams," and conveys as sense of motion in the last line.
Milton also incorporates much alliteration into his poem. Alliteration occurs when words beginning with the same consonant are placed in close proximity to each other. In the passage above, "liquid lapse" is an example of alliteration. Milton also writes that Eve "went forth among her fruits and flowers," repeating the "f" sound at the start of words.
Milton's description of Eve walking away from the conversation between Raphael also is an example of characterization as it shows she preferred to learn from her husband rather than directly from the Angel.
Milton frequently employs metaphor, comparison that does not use the words like or as. For example, he has Adam compare the earth to "a spot, a grain, an atom" while Raphael calls heaven the "book of God" and God the "great Architect."
Milton uses personification when he calls nature "wise and frugal" as if it is a person.
Book VIII is filled with dialogue. Milton enlivens his story at this point by depicting it as a dialogue between the angel Raphael and Adam. He also uses first person narration as he has Adam himself describe what it looked like to first see earth—and Adam also recounts a dialogue with God.
Finally, a lesser known literary device that Milton uses is anastrophe. This is reversing normal word order for effect. For example, Raphael says God has replicated in Adam his (God's) "image fair." Normally, we would say "fair image," but putting the adjective ("fair") last allows the emphasis to fall on that word.
