“Thou are not lovelier than lilacs”

English
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]4 years ago
3 0
While the poems were written centuries apart, they have many similarities. Both poems are sonnets that use comparisons but in an unusual way. Each tells what the love is not lovelier than. Both poems use imagery involving nature, and both use vivid word choice. While Millay does state her love is not more beautiful than "small white poppies," she "bend[s] before" him in awe. Shakespeare makes a point of stating that his love is an ordinary woman, not a goddess. Both poets use careful diction and poetic language. Shakespeare uses "hath," and inverts sentences. Millay uses "thy" and "thou" along with other archaic words. Her line, "lovelier than lilacs" is an example of her choosing words for their sound as much as their meaning. The lines "day by day unto his draught/of delicate poison adds him one drop more" also illustrates her concern for the sound of the poem. Love and lovers seem little changed over the centuries!

Is preaching another word for talking in this sentence?
Virty [35]

Answer:

Not really.

Explanation:

"Preaching" is a religious term, and it is the delivery of a religious address/moral advice to an assembled group of people, typically in church.

In other words, it is giving a religious speech about the word of God, and trying to persuade other people to believe in a particular belief/follow a particular way of life.

"Talking" is merely a casual term that is informal, and does not necessarily fit in this situation.

I hope this helped! Let me know if you didn't understand some parts, I'll try to define it in an easier way.

20 points !!! Hi i need help breaking apart the quote into 3 parts !
swat32

This is what makes sense to me if it helps you any. "That's what literature is" "It's the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death!" "Listen to them!"

Write a letter to your friend telling him or her about your new school​
vladimir2022 [97]

This is a sample paragraph.

Hi Penn!

I'm sorry I've moved, but there's a new school I've got to go. It's in Nowhere Street, next to the dog park. It's big, and cool! The auditorium is so huge. I wish you could see it too! The classes are filled with proper seating, and get this! There's lockers..... and so on.

Sometimes, use informal language like if you were talking to your friend.

Explain the details of the new school.

Ask some questions about your friend.

Say things like "I wish you were here!" to show that you have gone to a new school

I'm sorry if I misunderstood.

Good luck mate! :)

Please add Brainliest if you'd like, not that it matters.

Remember to try your best every day!
