Which two sets of lines in this excerpt from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson describe actions taken by the Lady o

f Shalott to defy the curse? In the stormy east-wind straining, The pale yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining, Heavily the low sky raining Over tower'd Camelot; Outside the isle a shallow boat Beneath a willow lay afloat, Below the carven stern she wrote, The Lady of Shalott…. With a steady stony glance— Like some bold seer in a trance, Beholding all his own mischance, Mute, with a glassy countenance— She look'd down to Camelot. It was the closing of the day: She loos'd the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. As when to sailors while they roam, By creeks and outfalls far from home, Rising and dropping with the foam, From dying swans wild warblings come, Blown shoreward; so to Camelot Still as the boathead wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her chanting her deathsong, The Lady of Shalott.

The first set of lines that describe the actions taken by The Lady of Shalott to defy the curse are:

“With a steady stony glance—

Like some bold seer in a trance,

Beholding all his own mischance,

Mute, with a glassy countenance—

She look'd down to Camelot.”

Previously in the poem, it is mentioned that by looking directly at Camelot a curse would fall on her. So by by looking down with a stony, glassy countenance, she is defying it.

The second set of lines are:

"Still as the boathead wound along  

The willowy hills and fields among,  

They heard her chanting her deathsong,  

The Lady of Shalott."

In this passage she has left the tower where she was confined to avoid the curse and invites death by singing her last song, challenging the curse once again.

What trick did crusoe play on the wicked man? in the story
Virty [35]

The trick that Crusoe played on the wicked man was of the religious patterns. He started to play it on the wicked man when he realized that he understood things more clearly when taught through religious way.

After rescuing one of the Natives of the Island, Crusoe starts to converse with him so that he can know about him and his native people. He named him Friday and started making strategies through which he can teach him the way of living. He taught him to speak some words of English, the way to clothe oneself, the eating habits and to call him his ‘master.’ Crusoe noticed that it was easy for him to educate Friday through religious patterns. He tells him about God and his creations with whom Friday easily related his own deity Benamuckee.
