<span>The literal meaning of pouring poison is a person's ear in "Hamlet" is that they are telling lies to people to mislead them and as a result they are pouring poisons lies in that persons ear. The symbolic meaning of pouring poison in a person's ear, reminds of the symbolic meaning of the snake in The Garden of Eden. The snake stood for lies, misleading a person, and evil, which ties into the meaning of pouring poison in a person's ear. How? Well the poison be poured into that person's ear is to mislead them into doing wrong, or to do things that were against there better judgment, which is exactly what happened to Eve in The Garden of Eden. The snake (aka the Devil) talked to Eve about The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.</span>

Read the following poem and answer the question that follows."Beat! Beat! Drums!" by Walt WhitmanBeat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The speaker commands the instruments to play loudly. He imagines the sound bursting through a "solemn church", scattering the congregation, into the school where the scholar is studying. He imagines the sound disturbing a bride and groom. He commands the instruments to play so loudly that it changes that they disrupt everyone's life.

The author intended to invoke the enviroment of war without speaking about soldiers. He uses onomatopeia and enphasis in certain words so that the speaker, whilst reading the poem, could also imagine the drums playing.

That which is "solemn", "quiet", and "peaceful" is meant to be disturbed, to be changed by the loud instruments playing.
