"It seemed the most spiritual of all the flower people I had ever met." (John Muir)
If so, what part? I know saying "flower people" makes it personification but there are a few other parts of this sentence I'm not sure would be counted.
Does calling the flower "spiritual" make it personification? I've heard of other inanimate objects called spiritual before (spiritual writings), but I'm still not sure.
Or does saying he "met" the flower make it personification?
Best Answer
spiritual
met
To be honest, I don't have a definitive answer. But contextually, John Muir was an environmentalist so I wouldn't be surprised if he was personifying the flower for the sake of familiarity.
