What does " And my clay house mold'ring away" and " Nor grinding pains in my body frail" mean?

English

The poem "As Weary Pilgrim", by Anne Bradstreet is about finishing a journey (a "pilgrimage"). The author describes all the things that the pilgrim, having finished his journey, will never feel again. Bradstreet is clearly using the end of a pilgrimage as a metaphor for the end of a life, for the moment of death, and thus expressing her desire to reach that moment of eternal, blissful rest.

The phrase "And my clay house mold'ring away" refers to the body, aged and tired and near the moment of death.

The phrase "Nor grinding pains in my body frail" refers to that moment of eternal rest where there is no pain, only peace and bliss in the eternal afterlife.

Which sentence correctly uses an MLA in-text citation?
Helen [10]

Answer:

The sentence that correctly uses an MLA in-text citation is the following one: According to fish biologist Sarah Myers, a single carp can spawn over a million babies (145). (D)

Explanation:

In MLA style, you refer to the works of others by using what is known as parenthetical citation. That is, you should include all the relevant information regarding the source in parentheses. What is more, MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation: The author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and then a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The name of the author might appear either in the sentence or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.
