 Re: Hi could you please help me with this poem? THANKS!!!
Firstly, 'c' is short for circa (around, about) that date.
Enjambment = the continuation of the sense without a pause beyond the end of the line:
As I wished my holiday to be longer than a day
I got up early so that we could quickly get away
This is very common in verse/poetry.
Frugal = economical, sparing, thrifty.
The last two lines are allegory, symbolical narration.
The meaning is that she needs so little to enjoy a book which can lift her soul. To make her happy, content, satisfied. |
