Meanings of "age-bent" or "blind & age bent"? Dear teacher,
Here are two sentences:
(1) As to Grandma, she and Isabel who towered over her age-bent figure, nattered cheerfully over the washing up, carefully keeping the meat and milk dishes and dish-cloths separate.
(2)Enion is reduced from her earlier state "blind & age bent" on the edge of non-entity to wither in Entuthon Benithon, Blake's term for the nadir of generative stasis: "A world of deep darkness where all things in horror are rooted" .
Then, meaning of "age-bent" or "blind & age bent" here?
