What did Shakespeare mean by Fie Fie upon her There's language in her eyes her cheek her lip Nay her foot speaks Her wanton spirits look out at every joint and motive of her body?
This is a quotation from a speech by Ulysses in the little-known play Troilus and Cressida, Act IV Scene 5. Ulysses is talking about Cressida, who has just been kissed by most of the high command of the Greek army. Ulysses is calling her a loose woman. But Cressida has little choice in the matter; she is little more than a slave, and her owner Diomedes permits this kissing to go on. Cressida would just as soon kiss nobody, and gets out of kissing Ulysses. That might be why he's in such a bad temper: sour grapes.
What is the meaning of the poem the blossom by eavan boland?
I assume you are referring to this: On a day (alack the day!) Love, whose month was ever May, Spied a blossom passing fair, Playing in the wanton air: Through the velvet leaves the wind, All unseen, 'gan passage find; That the lover, sick to death, Wish'd himself the heaven's breath. Air, quoth he, thy cheeks may blow; Air, would I might triumph so! But, alas! my hand hath sworn Ne'er to pluck thee from thy thorn: Vow, alack, for youth unmeet, Youth, so apt to pluck a sweet, Thou for whom Jove would swear Juno but an Ethiope were; And deny himself for Jove, Turning mortal for thy love. It's a terrible poem. The first bit develops the idea of the wind ruffling through the petals of a flower, and the lover imagining the flower as his inamorata and himself being jealous of the wind. The author has apparently sworn not to have any physical contact ("pluck thee from thy thorn") with the person represented by the flower. He complains that this vow is "unmeet" for someone so young, one presumes, as the poet. The last four lines are a classical allusion but one that makes no sense. If "thou" means the blossom-person, then she is being compared to Juno, Jupiter's wife, who is by comparison ugly (dark skin was thought to be ugly in those days). Then who is denying himself? And why for Jove? Is it the poet? How can the poet "turn mortal"? Does he imagine himself to be immortal or something? Or is it Jove that is turning mortal? Search me. It is, as I said, a terrible poem.

How does Hamlet mother feel toward Hamlet?
She is a loving mother. In the first act, she tries to coax Hamlet out of his depression. In the second, she shows her astuteness and concern for Hamlet's wild behaviour: "No doubt it is nothing but the main: his father's death and our own o'erhasty marriage." But she has no idea of the depth of the horror which Hamlet sees until the closet scene. Although she cares about Hamlet she doesn't really understand him. It is only when he says "Almost as bad, dear mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother." does she realize what is going on.
What is a ABCD rhyme scheme?
The following poem by George Herbert "Church Monuments" has the ABCABC rhyme scheme: While that my soul repairs to her devotion, Here I entomb my flesh, that it betimes May take acquaintance of this heap of dust, To which the blast of Death's incessant motion, Fed with the exhalation of our crimes, Drives all at last. Therefore I gladly trust My body to this school, that it may learn To spell his elements, and find his birth Written in dusty heraldry and lines; Which dissolution sure doth best discern, Comparing dust with dust and earth with earth. These laugh at jet and marble, put for signs, To sever the good fellowship of dust, And spoil the meeting: what shall point out them, When they shall bow, and kneel, and fall down flat To kiss those heaps which now they have in trust? Dear flesh, while I do pray, learn here thy stem And true descent, that, when thou shalt grow fat, And wanton in thy cravings, thou mayst know That flesh is but the glass which holds the dust That measures all our time; which also shall Be crumbled into dust. Mark here below How tame these ashes are, how free from lust, That thou mayst fit thyself against thy fall.
