In the English language, there are inversions that are part of its
grammar structure, and are quite common in their use.
For instance, inversion always occurs in interrogative statements
where verbs, or auxiliaries, or helping verbs are placed before their
subjects.
Similarly, inversion happens in exclamatory sentences where objects
are placed before their verbs and subjects, and preceded by a wh-
word, such as the following examples of inversion:
Now, normally when we speak, we would start with the subject (or
primary focus) of the sentence and then follow immediately with the verb
(or action) that the subject is doing. Let's put these sentences back into
the word order that we would normally use when speaking:
'You have become powerful; I sense the dark side in you.'
FUNCTION OF ANASTROPHE:
Like all literary devices, the main function of inversion in prose or poetry
is to help writers achieve stylistic effect, like laying an emphasis on a
particular point, or changing the focus of the readers from a particular
point.
In poetry, inversions are regularly used to create rhythm, meter, or
rhyming scheme in the lines.

Synecdoche is a figure of speech where part of something is used to
represent the whole .
Synecdoche is a rhetorical and a type of figurative speech similar to
metonymy—a figure of speech that uses a term that denotes one
thing to refer to a related thing.
synecdoche is considered a subclass of metonymy. It is more distantly
related to other figures of speech, such as metaphor.
The two main types of synecdoche are microcosm and macrocosm. A
microcosm uses a part of something to refer to the entirety.
An example of this is someone saying that they “need a hand" with a
project, when they really need the entire person. A macrocosm is the
opposite, using the name of the entire structure of something to refer
to a small part.
References to the King or Queen of the United Kingdom are made in
the same fashion by referring to Buckingham Palace.
“Weary feet in the walk of life”, does not refer to the feet actually being
tired or painful; it is symbolic of a long, hard struggle through the journey of
life and feeling low, tired, unoptimistic and ‘the walk of life’ does not
represent an actual path or distance covered, instead refers to the entire
sequence of life events that has made the person tired.
