Read the passage from the story “The Minister’s Black Veil.” In this passage, the minister’s fiancée, Elizabeth, tries to get Mr

. Hooper to remove the veil. How might you best rewrite the request she makes of him?
From “The Minister’s Black Veil”

“There is an hour to come,” said he, “when all of us shall cast aside our veils. Take it not amiss, beloved friend, if I wear this piece of cra pe till then.”

“Your words are a mystery, too,” returned the young lady. “Take away the veil from them, at least.”

“Elizabeth, I will,” said he, “so far as my vow may su ffer me. Know, then, this veil is a type and a symbol, and I am bound to wear it ever, both in light and darkness, in solitude and before the gaze of multitudes, and as with strangers, so with my familiar friends. No mortal eye will see it withdrawn. This dismal shade must separate me from the world: even you, Elizabeth, can never come behind it!”

“If you won’t take away the veil, then please at least explain to me why you wear it.”

“Please explain the sermon you preached last Sunday when you were wearing the veil.”

“I don’t understand what you just said. Would you mind at least repeating it?”

“If you don’t remove the veil, then don’t you realize you are breaking your word to me?”

Know, then, this veil is a type and a symbol, and I am bound to wear it ever, both in light and darkness, in solitude and before the gaze of multitudes, and as with strangers, so with my familiar friends. No mortal eye will see it withdrawn. This dismal shade must separate me from the world: even you, Elizabeth, can never come behind it!”

“What grievous affliction hath befallen you,” she earnestly inquired, “that you should thus darken your eyes forever?”

Read the line from "Do not go gentle into that good night." Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, The meter, if any, f
spin [16.1K]
The meter from this line is pentameter, and to be more precise, this is an iambic pentameter.
Iambic means that the first syllable in the line is unstressed, and that it is followed by a stressed one. Here, you can see that DO in the beginning is unstressed, and the accent is placed on the second syllable, NOT. Pentameter means that there are five meters (penta means 5), and given that one meter consists of 2 syllables approximately, pentameter consists of 10 syllables in each line.
