belM, here's what gurunet has. Its def. of prosopopeia sent me to its listing for personification, and I think this helps clarify pretty well:
A figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities or are represented as possessing human form, as in Hunger sat shivering on the road or Flowers danced about the lawn.
Also called: prosopopeia
