Read the stanza from "It Sifts from Leaden Sieves."

It Ruffles Wrists of Posts

As Ankles of a Queen -

Then stills its Artisans - like Ghosts -

Denying they have been -

What is the meaning of the poetic device used in the stanza?

Imagery; the snow is deep and slippery

Explanation:

In the poem by Emily Dickinson called, "It sifts from Leaden Sieves", Emily alludes to how deep the snow is by stating that it ruffles the wrists of posts and relating it to white ruffles which is part of some dresses that a queen might wear thereby suggesting that it is high and deep.

It then stills it's Artsans which are the snow particles on the road this making it slippery even though it appears that the road is solid.
