The couplet (lines 13-14) of Sonnet 30 by Edmund Spenser suggest that the speaker has indeed overcome the heartache expressed in the preceding quatrains.

In the couplet, the speaker says that the power of love can alter the course of nature. Therefore, even if his love is unrequited, he still burns with passion and hopes the be with the woman he loves in the future.

  • This question is about Sonnet 30, by British writer Edmund Spenser, in which the speaker talks about his love for a woman who does not love him back.
  • He compares himself to fire and the woman to ice. He cannot melt her heart, but her coldness cannot put out his passionate flame as well.
  • In the final couplet - two successive lines of verse that rhyme and have the same or similar meter - the speaker reveals that he has overcome his heartache.
  • Even though the woman does not love him, he believes his love for her is powerful enough to change things.
  • The speaker is choosing to remain optimistic and to believe that everything is possible.
  • These are the two lines:

<em>"Such is the </em><em>pow'r </em><em>of </em><em>love </em><em>in gentle mind,</em>

<em>That it can </em><em>alter </em><em>the </em><em>course </em><em>of </em><em>kind</em><em>."</em>

(WILL MARK BRAINLIST) How does Columbus’s description of the Caribbean islands reflect Spain’s motivations for sending him there
mina [271]

Upon arriving in the American continent, Columbus was impressed by the size of the place and the number of natives that already occupied these lands. He saw great economic potential in the American territory for the Spanish crown and was quick to write about his discoveries. He claimed that the territory was extensive, with a large number of trees, fruits and animals that could be exploited and generate great wealth for the Spanish crown. In addition, he predicted that this exploitation would have a small economic expense, since it would be possible to conquer and enslave the natives, forcing them to work towards Spanish objectives. He also said that these peoples would be easily converted to Christianity, calling for exploitation to be cursed.

Hope this helps :)
