Which figurative language comes across most clearly in this excerpt from t. s. eliot`s preludes

The poetry of T. S. Eliot presents three fundamental aspects, facets in appearance contradictory to each other, but which the great artist harmonized wisely. The first, a very sui generis humorous vein, the author was very fond of the satirical trifle and the ironic joke, pretty visible in his work. The second, the rapturous avant-garde or literary experimentalism In the preludes of TS Eliot prevails the rhetorical figure language of thought that is to attribute to inanimate beings features and qualities of animate beings, or irrational beings, attitudes of rational beings or in making dead or absent feigned people or make speak things.
