How many loved your moments of glad grace,
and loved your beauty with love false or true,
but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
and loved the sorrows of your changing face…

in this excerpt from “when you are old” by william butler yeats, how is the love of “one man” different from the others who have loved the woman?

In this excerpt, Yeats is comparing the love a woman has received from many men, to that which she received from only one man (allegedly, the speaker). He argues that other men loved the woman when she was beautiful and graceful ("loved your moments of glad grace" and "loved your beauty"). However, only one man has loved her to the depths of her soul ("loved the pilgrim soul in you") and even when her beauty was fading and her face changing ("loved the sorrows of your changing face"). The love of this one man, therefore, is much deeper and much more real than that of any other one.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
