I'm  a homeschooled child and was practicing for my English 12 exam. This is a practice test question, so I wanted some insight. This test is mainly on analyzing literature. I am not trying to take the easy way out. Why would i do that? I just want to construct a good understanding of pastoral poetry.

Hi again,

OK, fair enough.

Would you like to post your thoughts so far about these matters, for people to add comments to?

Hi Clive,

This is what I have so far:

* It's a love poem, it says contentment to me.

* soothing, clean ritual robes, fragrence of incence, wine to the palate when taken with bread, unhurried, quiet affection and peace.

*The examples she uses to make comparisons are ones of a pampered person, so I think she comes from an affluent family.

* Love is timless. The words used are I think about making sacrifies to the gods of that time, and the ingredredients mentioned are those used for pampering at that time.

*To me it reveals that Egypt was at a time of peace and pretty much ruler of the then known world.

* The Rose by Bette Midler because that is a song full of love comparisons.

*Touch, smell, and taste.

* Touch - soothing, clean to the flesh, ripe in the hand. Smell - fragrence, smells of the street, tang. Taste - palate, tang.

* They provide examples to which one can relate.

Thanks,

Bunlua.
