What literary devices are used in this passage such were the new surroundings which?

Please provide the full passage so I can identify the literary devices used. The phrase "such were the new surroundings which" is incomplete and does not give enough context to analyze.

For example, I need to know:

* What is the context of the passage? Is it a description, a dialogue, a narrative?

* What comes before and after the phrase? This will help understand the meaning and purpose of the phrase.

Once you provide the full passage, I can help you identify the literary devices.
