This passage from Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" is an extraordinary example of what (besides some alliteration)?
 

                                                                Thou
                  For whose path the Atlantic's level powers
                  Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below
                  The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear
                  The sapless foliage of the ocean, know
                  Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear
                  And tremble and despoil themselves:—O hear!
