Blight means ruin and disaster. Words and phrases that indicate and support this meaning are: "the last bitter hour" (denoting death), "stern agony, and shroud, and pall" (also denoting death, but this time in an even more literal way), "breathless darkness", "make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart" (these phrases definitely imply a disaster that takes our breath away).

Bezzdna [24]

Yes, I think Clinton's speech was effective in showing support for the American people during this tragedy because his tone reflect the pain he felet about the feelings of the people that lost loved ones to the tragedy.

The use of language and parallelism help advance his purpose because he was able to tell about the feeling of a particular women through her letter about the death of her husband and she implores that Americans should “search for justice.” and not express anger.
