Question

And dreamy scents of fragrance pass That breathe of other year (make it simple)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Upon the Hill manages to be interesting from first glance, because it is a title that does a very good job of indicating the kind of verse that Brontë is using in this moving piece.

Mild the Mist Upon the Hill Analysis

Mild the mist upon the hill

Telling not of storms tomorrow;

No, the day has wept its fill,

Spent its store of silent sorrow.

As previously mentioned, the poem immediately attempts to create a peaceful and natural image for the viewer: a misty hilltop. This image works well to frame a poem with, because it’s an open concept without specific connotations that would tie the image irrevocably to an idea in the reader’s mind. The rest of the verse uses personification to create a metaphor for the daytime, suggesting that rainy days are sorrowful ones, because the “day has wept its fill.” The alliteration continues in the final line, where every word that’s longer than three letters begins with the same letter, which is a strong finish to the verse, considering that it begins in a similar fashion.

This kind of pattern allows Brontë to create a concept that is both open and meaningful, because while her intentions with the poem’s meaning are unclear, she does make heavy use of poetic devices, along with word choice such as “storms,” “wept,” and “sorrow.” This creates a very noticeable atmosphere for the piece that is unmistakable to the reader, even as they interpret the images and metaphors in their own unique way: the mild mist upon the hill means that the world is taking a break from being sorrowful.

O, I’m gone back to the days of youth,

I am a child once more,

And ‘neath my father’s sheltering roof

And near the old hall door
