what through death at times steps in
( pick out and explain the figure of speech in this line )
Answers
Answer:
Hello there,
LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly !
What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair !
Charlotte Brontë
Lots of metaphor, simile, personification (showers don’t “make” anything, Death cannot call) , and of course, symbolism. Darkness is usually a symbol of depression, death or sadness. There’s also plenty of end rhyme, some internal rhyme and assonance, just for starters, after a cursory glance.
I would prefer to comment on your answers than provide mine to you. Part of the joy of analysis is realizing that you CAN see the poetic and literary elements and construct meaning FOR YOURSELF as to why they are used. If it makes sense to you, then a reasonable person will generally be able to agree that your support is valid.
If this is an assignment you were given, you are doing yourself no favors by allowing someone else to experience the thrill of the literary hunt.
Hope it helps you,
Mark me as a brainliest if it really helps..........
