Explanation of poetry pretty words

English
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
7 0
Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.

Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.

So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.

Hopefully that all helps!

Both commas and parentheses are used to set off parenthetic expressions. <br><br><br> TrueFalse
Free_Kalibri [48]
The correct answer is TRUE. Both commas and parentheses are used to set off parenthetic expressions, but each has their own set of rules to follow when setting off some words in the sentence. Like for example, one way to use parentheses is to set off a phrase that is not part of the subject. On the other hand, we use commas to set off a phrase that serves as an additional information to the sentence.

hjlf
The excerpt is as written below:


Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself, that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects, and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all, to lay down for my God, and for my kingdoms, and for my people, my honour, and my blood, even in the dust.


The excerpt signifies her emotional appeal to the troops as well as her persuading and statement to do all what it takes for the best of England.
