The entire quatrain where that phrase is found talks about time itself. It says that time gives beauty, thus making that particular person handsome, but time also takes away that same beauty - unfair which fairly doth excel. What was once young and beautiful will become old and wither as time goes by.

Write short composition about the travelling to another place...........to your family
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The hot, humid weather that ran through out Orlando, Florida was absolutely unbearable. While I was ecstatic to reunite with my aunt, uncle, and cousins after almost 3 years, I couldn't help but be disappointed by the landscape. I was under the impression that Florida would be paradise, I would feel the cool breeze of the ocean air on my face, the crunchy texture of the sand in between my toes, and taste the salt water on my lips. Yet, i've been here for under an hour and was feeling like I would melt!  After an eternity, my family finally decided to head inside the house. Freed from the sun's sweltering heat, I ran to the refrigerator, opening the door and allowing the chilly air to waft out and cool my sweating body. After a couple minutes of relief, I re-joined my family in the living room. It was great to see everyone, I noticed how different everyone looked. My oldest cousin, Elliot, had grown much taller, towering over both his mother and father. Olivia, the youngest of my cousins, had also grown. Last time I saw her, she was barely two years old. Now, I watched as she ran as fast as her little legs could take her, circling the coffee table, babbling mindlessly as she went.  My aunt called my name, drawing me out of my deep thought.

"We will be heading to a restaurant called La Cantina in an hour for dinner. It is right on the beach! You will love the view. "

My stomach grumbled in response, I hadn't eaten all day! After quickly agreeing, Elliot and I made our way to his bedroom. It had been so long since we last talked, I was excited to get caught up. Before we knew it, an hour had passed and we all made our way to the restaurant. The dinner was wonderful. I was so happy to finally be surrounded by family. Unfortunately, most of the family is spread out over the US, and we rarely get a chance to see each other! After a while, we made our way back to the house, bellies full and cheeks aching from so much laughter. I dreaded the day I would have to head back home.

... select this as the brainliest please!!...

A. Setting & the Lottery: Describe the town's lottery process (see p.1-2).
ICE Princess25 [194]

"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson, first published in the June 26, 1948, issue of The New Yorker.

The story describes a fictional small town in contemporary America, which observes an annual rite known as "the lottery", in which a member of the community is selected by chance to be stoned to death. It is implied in the story that the lottery is practiced to ensure the community's continued well being.

Readers' initial negative response surprised both Jackson and The New Yorker: subscriptions were cancelled, and much hate mail was received throughout the summer of its first publication, while the Union of South Africa banned the story.

The story has been dramatized several times and subjected to much sociological and literary analysis, and has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature.[4]
