Figure of speech is 'personification'. Here death is personified.
This sentence was quoted by Ronald Ross, from Drydens translation of Aenid, to describe the malaria spreading Anophelus mosquitto..
"Jove bow'd the heav'ns, and lent a gracious ear,
And thunder'd on the left, amidst the clear.
Sounded at once the bow; and swiftly flies
The feather'd death, and hisses thro' the skies"
-Dryden's translation of the Aeneid
