Which lines in this excerpt from book 12 of homer's odyssey reveal that the monster scylla cannot be defeated in battle, even by a great warrior such as ulysses?
ah, shun the horrid gulf! by scylla fly.
'tis better six to lose, than all to die.'
"i then: 'o nymph propitious to my prayer,
goddess divine, my guardian power, declare,
is the foul fiend from human vengeance freed?
or, if i rise in arms, can scylla bleed? '
"then she: 'o worn by toils, o broke in fight,
still are new toils and war thy dire delight?
will martial flames for ever fire thy mind,
and never, never be to heaven resign'd?
how vain thy efforts to avenge the wrong!
deathless the pest! impenetrably strong!
furious and fell, tremendous to behold!
e'en with a look she withers all the bold!
she mocks the weak attempts of human might;
oh, fly her rage! thy conquest is thy flight.
if but to seize thy arms thou make delay,

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
