In which phrase does Dickens use figurative language?

Read the passage from Charles Dickens's Hard Times,

It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which

interminable [unending) serpents of smoke trailed

themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It

had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-

smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows

where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and

where the piston of the steam-engine worked

monotonously up and down, like the head of an elephant in

a state of melancholy madness.

"like the head of an elephant"

"rattling and a trembling all day long"

"a town of machinery and tall chimneys"

"a black canal"
