From their sweet feeding in the fruit; / The droning of the bees and flies/ Rises gradual as a lute.

Explanation:

1.This quote means that when bees and flies eat inside from fruit, they drone (buzz), which gets increasingly louder. It also implies that this droning (buzzing) sounds somewhat musical as it becomes louder by comparing it to the sound of a lute, which is an instrument.

2.In these lines we see simile/metaphor, which is a literary technique of making a comparison between two things that are generally not considered similar in an effort to give readers a better understanding of the topic being discussed.

3.In these lines we can see that the sound bees and flies make is being compared to the sound a lute (which is a type of guitar) in order to give readers who might be familiar with the sound of the lute (and unfamiliar with the sounds of nature) a basis for comparison in the understanding of how the sound bees and flies sounded. As such, what these lines are saying is that the sound flies and bees made while they ate fruit sounded like the music made by a lute.

to whom may it may concern;

i have recently ordered a product from your online shop. the shipping details read that my order would be delivered by the 8th of december, whereas it was delivered the 13th. i needed the package for a christmas exchange.

since i paid for overnight shipping, but did not receive the package in the time allotted, i am kindly asking for a refund. the product was just perfect, but i do not believe i should have to pay for a quick shipping if it came late.

you for your time, i hope to hear from you soon.

sincerely,

john smith
