Consonance is a literary device in which identical or similar consonants are repeated in neighboring words whose vowel sounds are different. In the given excerpt, the consonant L is repeated several times:

Blue with all malice, like a madman's flash...

The opposite of consonance is assonance - the repetition of vowel sounds.
