Answer and Explanation:

Emerson's gravestone is a large monument characterized by a large and imposing stone on which his name, date of birth, date of death and the phrase "The passive master lent his hand to the vast soul that over him planed. " All the delicacy and grandeur that Emerson's gravestone presents shows how he was a beloved writer by society and how his death was felt and accepted with regret.

Thoreau's gravestone, on the other hand, presents itself very differently, it is not imposing and large like Emerson's, but it is presented in a reduced size and with a stone where only the word "Henry" is written and just it. This shows that Thoreau was not so well liked by the population and his death did not cause so much commotion and regret, probably due to the positions he had on politics and society.

What is the implied meaning in the phrase, “Versing, I shroud among the dynasties”?
Lady_Fox [76]

The implied meaning behind the given phrase is <em>I am forced to conceal my poetry from a critical society. </em>

<em />

Explanation:

The phrase<em> Versing, I shroud among the dynasties </em>is a line from John Berryman's long poem <em>Homage to Mistress Bradstreet</em> written in 1948–53. This poem represents a tribute to poet Anne Bradstreet and describes the tension between her personal and artistic lives. Besides that, it contains information about Berryman himself.

The options you were given are:

  • I am forced to conceal my poetry from a critical society.
  • I am invited to read my poetry at church service.
  • I am congratulated by the community for my unique poetry.
  • I am questioned about my devotion to God's teachings.

The correct answer is <em>I am forced to conceal my poetry from a critical society. </em>As a hint, we can use the meaning of the verb <em>to shroud</em><em>: to cover in order to conceal from view.</em>
