In this song, Dylan repeats the lines "Take the rag away from your face / Now ain't the time for your tears."
He uses these lines throughout the song in order to tell the listener that *this* isn't what they should be upset about. Don't get upset that this woman was murdered. Don't get upset that she was only a maid. Now isn't the time to get upset about these things.
By the end of the song, however, this line changes. It now becomes "Bury the rag deep in your face/ For now's the time for your tears." Dylan says that now is the time to cry because justice was not served. Zanzinger only got six months for the murder of an innocent woman.
Therefore, the repetition of these lines allows Dylan to indicate the true tragedy of this story.
Romantic period gave rise to some of the incredible works from some of the most renowned writers and poets. For me, it's 'I Wandererd Lonely as a Cloud' by William Wordsworth
Explanation:
Romanticism was an art and literary movement which took place at the end of 18th century. Poems of some most renowned poets written durning the romantic period are still quite famous. One of my favorite and the most famous romantic poem is 'I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud' written by the most famous William Wordsworth.
In this poem, the poet brings to its readers a beautiful description of flowers while he was wandering lonely. The poem revolves around the major theme of the 'beauty of nature' and its power to change a person's sadness into happiness. The poet who was lonely, no more feels lonely mainly because he discovers the dancing and fluttering daffodils which brighten up his mood.
