Question

paraphrase these lines alas that the longest hill must end in a vale

Answer 1

Answer:

the line " alas that the longest hill must end in a vale" can be paraphrased as, sadly , even the highest hill ends in a valley". The line is used as a metaphor of expressing the fact that nothing is permanent in life. Even the greatest joys, and the longest sorrows end at some point, and life moves on. The cycle of joy and sorrow is a continuous one, and one must not dwell on either for too long.
