The figurative language used by Amy Lowell in "Prime" is simile.

Explanation: Simile is figurative language used to compare one thing to another, and it can be identified with the use of the word "like" (ex: They fought like cats and dogs). In this excerpt, the narrator compares the subject's voice to bells, which means the voice must be poweful and beautiful.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
