Question

What do you think purrs softly at a silver dish and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

PRETTY WORDS

Poets make pets of pretty, docile words:

I love smooth words, like gold-enamelled fish

Which circle slowly with a silken swish,

And tender ones, like downy-feathered birds:

Words shy and dappled, deep-eyed deer in herds,

Come to my hand, and playful if I wish,

Or purring softly at a silver dish,

Blue Persian kittens fed on cream and curds.

I love bright words, words up and singing early;

Words that are luminous in the dark, and sing;

Warm lazy words, white cattle under trees;

I love words opalescent, cool, and pearly,

Like midsummer moths, and honied words like bees,

Gilded and sticky, with a little sting.

Brief summary-

In the poem "Pretty Words" by Elinor Wylie, the speaker is comparing words to pets. The speaker compares words with pets, and how they can be 'tamed'. When the speaker compares words to "" (Wylie 4), it shows that there is a variety of words that can be used. Or, when she says, "Come to my hand, and playful if I wish" (line 6), she sees words as pets, and is playful while using them
