What are examples of literary devices such as tone, allusion, parallelism, consonance, satire, irony, and disillusionment in "Mending Wall" by...

Here is an example of each literary technique mentioned:

Tone: The poet's tone is lightly critical. To show the lightness of the tone, the poet refers to the repairing of the wall as "oh, just another kind of outdoor game" and speaks of "the mischief in me." Still, he is critical of the neighbor: "He moves in darkness as it seems to me."

Allusion: The reference to elves alludes to fairy stories of beings that play tricks on farmers.

Parallelism: The poem has numerous examples of parallelism. Here are two: "He is all pine and I am apple orchard." "And set the wall between us once again. / We keep the wall between us as we go."

Consonance: "And eat the cones under his pines." "... nearly balls / We have to use a spell to make them balance."

Satire: The speaker pokes fun of the neighbor's blind clinging to adages from his ancestors:

He will not go behind his father’s saying, 

And he likes having thought of it so well 

He says again, 'Good fences make good neighbors.'

Irony: It is ironic that the neighbor thinks they need a fence where there are no cows. "'Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it / Where there are cows? But here there are no cows."

Disillusionment: The poet knows his neighbor will not change: "He will not go behind his father’s saying."
