I only Have one answer
Black as the pit from pole to pole--sight
Invictus
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
How about this for onomatopoeia?
" I have not winced nor cried aloud."

What other examples of sensory images can you find?
give me 5 lines that sensory images please. I can't identify
In the two or three days that you've been posting this question, I've seen only one example that you've given. I'm sure you can do better than that. Certainly you can find more than one line out of 16 lines with sensory images. Show us your effort to complete this assignment.
I have not winced nor cried aloud.--sight
I agree with Writeacher. You haven't shown us your effort.
I give up!
Please do not post this question again.
To pick six lines from the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley that use sensory images and identify the sense used for each line, you can start by analyzing the poem line by line. Here are six lines that use sensory images and the senses associated with them:
1. "Out of the night that covers me" - sense of darkness/touch (touch can be associated with the feeling of darkness)
2. "Black as the pit from pole to pole" - sense of sight (visual representation of darkness)
3. "I thank whatever gods may be" - sense of gratitude/hearing (gratitude can be associated with the emotional sense of hearing)
4. "In the fell clutch of circumstance" - sense of touch (the feeling of being trapped or constrained)
5. "My head is bloody, but unbowed" - sense of touch (the physical sensation of pain)
6. "Beyond this place of wrath and tears" - sense of sight (visual representation of a negative environment)
For the line that uses onomatopoeia, "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley does not contain any evident onomatopoeic words. Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate or suggest the sound they describe, such as "buzz" for the sound of a bee or "hiss" for the sound of a snake. Unfortunately, this particular poem does not have such examples.
I don't see any onomatopoeia in this, unless one goes to the Greek definition.
For humans, few sounds are used that are not words.
In Robert Brownings poem, Spanish Cloister, the opening is
Grrrrr, there go, my heart's abhorence...
the use of Grrrr is onomatopoeia.
I just don't see it in this poem. "winced" is a grimace, not a sound.
