Hi,

I trid to replace each of sentences as other expressions for same meaing.
Please look at them. Advise me.

#1. I stop short of the door. This is fine.
Question1. Would you replace it as other sentense easily? eg I stopped before I reached the door.

#2-a. She drinks out of the spring.
(=She drinks from the spring) Fine

#2-b.She drinks the heart out of a fine spring afternoon
Question2. I don't know what drinks the heart means.I don't know either. It's an unclear and odd expression.
My guess is that it might mean
She enjoys a fine spring afternoon
or maybe
She takes all the pleasure out of a fine spring afternoon.
As you can see, I'm guessing.
