Which figurative language comes across most clearly in this excerpt from t. s. eliot's "preludes"?

the winter evening settles down
with smell of steaks in passageways.
six o'clock.
the burnt-out ends of smoky days.
and now a gusty shower wraps
the grimy scraps
of withered leaves about your feet
and newspapers from vacant lots;
the showers beat
on broken blinds and chimney-pots,
and at the corner of the street
a lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
and then the lighting of the lamps.
