Answer:

The best answer to the question: In the first three stanzas of "A Child Asleep" Elizabeth Barett Browning associates the flower imagery, especially such flowers as mandragora, which was used for sleep draughts, and nosegays, with that of the sleeping child.

Explanation:

"A Child Asleep" is a poem by Elizabeth Barett Browning, in the 19th century, during the Victorian Era, that likens the peaceful process of sleeping with that of death. In the end, what she is describing is the process of seeing a child pass from this life to the next, but in such a peaceful way, as if the child were nothing more than sleeping. This idea that death is as peaceful for a child as sleeping, comes with the use of the imagery of flowers, especially two types of flowers: the nosegay, which is used as a means to stop bad smells, and mandragora, which is a plant used to cause sleep, and when used too much, it can cause also peaceful death.

Oxana [17]
The word prodigy applies to Waverly due to her being especially good at chess, or whatever it was she does. Her mother's point of view on prodigy is being the best she can be, and the term applies to her mother by not being quite as smart as her daughter.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" is a poem by one of the foremost figures of 20th-century American poetry, William Carlos Williams, first published in Pictures from Brueghel and Other Poems in 1962. The poem is a work of ekphrasis—writing about a piece of visual art—and is part of a cycle of 10 poems inspired by the paintings of 16th-century artist Pieter Bruegel (or Brueghel) the Elder. Both Bruegel's painting and this poem depict the death of Icarus, the mythological figure who died after flying too close to the sun, in a rather unusual way: in both works, Icarus's death—caused by a fall from the sky after the wax holding his artificial wings together melted—is hardly a blip on the radar of the nearby townspeople, whose attention is turned instead toward the rhythms of daily life. Tragedy is thus presented as a question of perspective, something that depends on how close one is (literally and emotionally) to the event in question.
