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

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.

In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, what's peculiar about the relationship between Mr. Enfield and Mr. Utterson?
Sophie [7]

The correct answer is A, they are friends, yet they have nothing in common. These two men are distant relatives who enjoy spending time with each other. They look forward to their long weekly strolls, in which they do not speak. In spite of not having much in common, they do have similar temperaments, a family trait. They both dislike gossip and prefer to contain their thoughts.

Besides, Utterson is the counterpoint to Hyde. They both have traits of coldness, although Utterson seems to also have "human" attitudes, not shown in his speech but in his actions. In addition, Hyde and Utterson like adventure, as opposed to Enfield, who is not inclined to it much.
