A language technique used in the poem is a simile.
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
The persona is comparing the traditional farmer to a perhistoric cave-man.
The use of visual imagery is used to describe the destruction of the wall.
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it
And spills the upper boulder in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
