To understand this phrase you have to analyze it in pieces.
Courtier is a word to describe a person that goes to the court to present, in this case, poetry. The court was the place where the powerful people (kings, princes, queens, royal governors...) of society would go to have a different kind of reunions and presentations.
Middling is a word that was used as a synonym for standard, regular. Here it means that the poet is not particularly bright, not all that talented.
In this excerpt from Ernest Shackleton’s memoir South!, the word which could best replace the word irradiated is permeated.
<em>Irradiated</em> refers to something which illuminates or something which enlightens spiritually and intellectually.
On the other hand, <em>permeated </em>refers to pervade or pass into every part of something.
Hence, in the above sentence permeated effectively replaced the word irradiated as the happiness passed into every part of their thirst, and weakness through the glimpse of the black cliffs of south Georgia.
Answer: As the very theme of the story is the absurdity of trying to escape death, the clock serves as a reminder that death is inevitable. It symbolizes the passage of time.
Explanation:
<em>"The Masque of the Red Death"</em> is Edgar Allan Poe's short story, in which a group of thousand people, including Prince Prospero, lock themselves down in an abbey. They want to be safe during the deadly pestilence (Red Death).
In the story, The Seven Rooms of the abbey represent seven stages of life. In the Seventh Room, "against the western wall", there is "a gigantic clock of ebony." The Ebony Clock serves as a symbol of death and its inevitability, while its swinging pendulum symbolizes the passage of time. When an hour passes by, the clock chimes, and everyone listens to it, aware that they have lost an hour of their life and that death is approaching. Prince and his people could not stop the pendulum from swinging - similarly, they cannot escape death.
Answer:
In my opinion, Carroll (the author of the story) is trying to tell children, everyone who read this book that it could be weird, strange when you growing up as you were a child.
The evidence is after Alice change the size many times in a day and meet Caterpillar, she said "I can't explain myself becaose I'm not my self, I'm afraid" and "all I know is it feeling very queer to me" queer means strage, weird.
This is my own view with the story, I'm not sure it would pls you or not but hope this helped :3
