Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 19." Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws, And make the earth devour her own sweet brood; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws, And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood; Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,5 And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time, To the wide world and all her fading sweets; But I forbid thee one most heinous crime: O! Carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow, Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen;10 Him in thy course untainted do allow For beauty's pattern to succeeding men. Yet, do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong, My love shall in my verse ever live young. Which is the best paraphrase of the line 9?

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. it is as follows:

Which is the best paraphrase of the line 9?

a) Keep time from passing.

b) Time cannot alter my love.

c) My love has beautiful brows.

d) Do not make my love look older.

The best paraphrase of the line 9 is d) Do not make my love look older.

Explanation:

In "Sonnet 19", the speaker talks of Time's relentlessness. Time will eventually lead all things and beings to old age and death. They will all be consumed by earth. Still, the speaker pleads with time to not make her loved one grow old. In line 9, "Nor draw no lines there with thine antique pen," it is as if Time has a pen with which it draws the lines of old age. The speaker is asking Time, "Do no make my love look older." She then moves on to say that, even though time is a fierce devourer, her loved one shall live forever, eternally young, in the lines she writes about him.

Keep time from passing (A)

Explanation:

Shakesphere is basically saying to not carve more wrinkles onto his love's face which states that not to make her old. This therefore means to stop time from passing.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
