<h3>What is an Understatement?</h3>

An understatement is a speech that has little import compared to the real meaning. This means that the author does not fully convey the gravity of the words.

In sentence C, the content of the picture was hard to bear but this was not fully highlighted by the speaker's choice of words.

What is the form in “Holy Sonnet 14”
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you

As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;

That I may rise and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend

Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

I, like an usurped town to another due,

Labor to admit you, but O, to no end;

Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,

But is captivated, and proves weak or untrue.

Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,

But am betrothed unto your enemy.

Divorce me, untie or break that knot again;

Take me to you, imprison me, for I,

Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,

Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
