Is this a figure of speech??

“When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils.”

Is this a figure of speech??

Reply:seems so
Reply:I first said no, but according to the wikipedia definition, it is.
Reply:I think he is actually being literal there, meaning he does see a large number of daffodils.



You might say it is metaphorically put, as 'crowd' and 'host' are usually applied to people, which makes the daffodils seem more alive.
