Question

Which two metaphors are used in the poem dust of snow that symbolize sorrow? Explain.​

Answer 1

Typically, the ‘crow’ and ‘hemlock’ represent something negative and inauspicious. They are symbols of sorrow. The dust of snow that the crow shakes off is meant to represent joy and hope. The poet uses “negative” symbols such as the crow and hemlock tree to convey the idea that we can find joy even in seemingly dark things. How we interpret things around us, depends entirely on us. Even something “negative” can be looked at in a positive light and be used to being joy and hope.

Answer 2

Answer:

black Crow and a hemlock tree
