To identify the type of figurative language in these lines, let's break them down:

1. "And the air was stifling sweet"

In this line, the phrase "stifling sweet" uses a figure of speech called a "oxymoron." An oxymoron is a combination of contradictory words or terms to create an added emphasis or effect. In this case, the words "stifling" (suffocating or oppressive) and "sweet" (pleasant or fragrant) are contradictory, making it an oxymoron. It helps convey the idea that the air feels heavy yet filled with a pleasant aroma.

2. "With the breath of any flowers"

In this line, the phrase "the breath of any flowers" is an example of personification. Personification is a figure of speech where human characteristics are assigned to non-human entities. In this case, flowers are given the human attribute of breathing, which captures the idea that the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers as if they were exhaling or breathing out.

So, to summarize, the type of figurative language in these lines are:

1. Oxymoron (in the phrase "stifling sweet")
2. Personification (in the phrase "the breath of any flowers")
