Answer:
"This phrase fro the poem "A Photograph" means that the mystery and truth of the death of the poet's mother makes her very sad. This pain due to her mother's death makes her silent and brings an environment of silence."
Answer:
Explanation:
1. the frost from the title means it's freezing stuffs at midnight , this is what its secret ministry is. The fact that the frost is doing its job at midnights when everyone in the village is asleep makes it seem fairly secret, hidden under the cover of darkness.
2. there is silence all round , the line: 'tis calm indeed! so calm, that it disturbs and vexes meditation with its strange and extreme silentness' suggests it .
3. his baby son (the infant) is the only person in the same room who's sleeping in the cradle.
4. the solitude suits 'abstruser musings' because abstruse ideas and concepts are by definition hard to understand. Its quite understandable that coleridge can have a conversation with himself have a little ' me time'.
