Need to find some literal and figurative language?

hi i asked for help on this poem before but not its for something new. I need to find a word or phrase in this poem this is figurative and literal at the same time. I already have used "breathe" and "drink" as figurative and literal. Please help me find other words or phrases that would have both a literal and figurative meaning.








Night


by Louise Bogan





The Cold remote islands


And the blue estuaries


Where what breathes, breathes


The restless wind of the inlets


And what drinks, drinks


The incoming tide;





Where shell and weed


Wait upon the salt wash of the sea,


And the clear nights of stars


Swing their lights westward


To set behind the land;





Where the clinging to the rocks


Renews itself forever;


Where, again on cloudless nights,


The water reflects


the firmament's partial setting;





-O remember


In your narrowing dark hours


That more things move


Than blood in the heart.





thanks!

Need to find some literal and figurative language?
How about "cold" and "remote."





Good Luck!!!
