Two adjectives that could be used to describe Winston Churchill's May 1940 speech are determination and courage. The determination is to resist oppression no matter how much "blood, toil, tears and sweat" is required and also where he says " I say it is to wage war by land, sea and air". Re courage, it is exemplified where he says, "It is victory-victory in spite of all terrors".

"With a glance she sets her hair ablaze

and whirls suddenly with daring art"


Some powerful words used with profound meaning in this line such as glance, ablaze and daring art.


Glance can be taken literally but in this case of connotative associations this word embodies the effortlessness in the activity she's performing. Without even a thought. With hesitance or any sort of labor. This simple word conveys this woman is extraordinary without even trying or maybe even knowing.


Ablaze, this woman lit up and exploded with fierce vibes. With the suggestions of fire, it really channels a burst in confident colors within someones personality or actions. Without even questioning herself, she set her own self restraint free and let the spark flame.


Daring art, insinuating a bold work of mastery and profession. Daring not only being confident but its risky what she's doing and could have possibly been a failure but she's owning it. Whirling with fortitude, so this woman is probably dancing in a literal sense but with the way the mood is set, its almost like she's floating and the world is whirling around her.


"her whole dress into this fiery rapture,

out of which, like startled snakes,

her bare arms stretch, alive and clacking"


Such connotative lines but these phrases fiery rapture, startled snakes, alive and clacking really sat center stage.


Fiery rapture, this woman's strong movements has made her dress dance with her own wind. Seems to have its on spirit. But it moves not soft and accordingly, its fiery meaning this woman is being aggressive. This isn't the affects of a calm, sweet and vulnerable piece, this is a hot and heavy storm.


Startled snakes, moving so vigorously yet in rhythm and in a pattern. This dress very much is probably long and flow-y showing and reenacting her own steps. But this particular description shows how advancing she's being. This dress didn't "flow like a weeping willow tree." The very word "snakes" supports danger and fearlessness.


Alive and clacking, the shapes and movements of her arms speak their own language. Almost as if they are silently speaking. They are very much present and cant be missed. You can almost hear them. Expressing all sorts of different meanings.
