Sonnet 146 discusses the relationship between souls and bodies. It invites the reader to cultivate the soul as opposed to decorating the body. More importantly, it states that worrying about physical beauty can only be done at the expense of the soul. The figurative language of these lines help develop this theme. The speaker addresses the soul and urges it to neglect the body and instead focus on its own enrichment. In these lines, the speaker invites the soul to reach towards heaven (<em>Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross</em>) and ignore other petty preoccupations.

"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl is a story that has a weird unusual hobby of taxidermy. She stuffs dead corpses. This hobby of her and how she deals with death is absolutely scary, at the same time interesting for readers to know her intentions behind it.

Explanation:

Billy, another main character of this story, is 17 and is annoyed by the acts of the Landlady. He thinks her to be odd and manner less as she keeps touching his hands and shoulders while talking to him. Her compliments on his appearance make Billy feel very uncomfortable, every time they have a conversation.

When the story progresses and readers get to know that the Landlady stuffed her dead pets in a briefcase and does the same with human bodies too, readers along with Billy start wondering about what kind of a sinister this woman is. She finally murders both other boys and stuff them like she did with the pets, at the end of the story.
