- 00:34
to her And she let me tear in many secret
- 00:36
place Finish her face Wow Okay that was quite a
- 00:39
poem there Alright the questions Here we go here's the
- 00:41
next one for you What does the young maiden represent
- 00:45
in the poem All right so who's the young maiden
- 00:48
And when you're doing these things since you only had
- 00:50
two questions we probably would have been smart toe Look
- 00:52
ahead and see what they're asking We got number four
- 00:55
here What is the young maiden representing the poem And
- 00:57
then we got number five They're asking which combination of
- 01:00
words and passage creates a mood of healing so we're
- 01:03
thinking about the maid We're looking for the maid here
- 01:06
Yeah That's the girl Right So let's think about this
- 01:10
We got fear and secrecy love and passion beauty and
- 01:13
influence and recklessness and freedom What is the maiden represent
- 01:16
Well don't panic at the sight of stands as you
- 01:19
don't need a b a in poetry to navigate these
- 01:21
questions this poem personifies nature like makes nature like a
- 01:26
human being through a description of an idealized woman like
- 01:29
mother nature Yeah that's where that came from and how
- 01:32
exactly is this perfect lady described Well according to the
- 01:35
speaker nature she's the loveliest of flowers with an overseeing
- 01:39
power to kindle or restrain she's sport of her lively
- 01:43
but also houses the silence and the com In other
- 01:47
words this mythical lady represents both the beauty of nature
- 01:49
and its a bounding influence over all living things Good
- 01:53
for you You do you nature Yeah Your beauty and
- 01:56
your influential there So the answer here is sea and
- 01:59
loser of all time All right well let think about
- 02:01
it Fear in secrecy Really Never underestimate the power of
- 02:05
good old process of elimination here because all this poem
- 02:07
could almost lull us to sleep with his gentle rhythm
- 02:10
and scenic descriptions there But it certainly does not inspire
- 02:14
fear maybe fear of having to read another one of
- 02:16
these But in this case well though nature clearly feels
- 02:19
love for the woman and calls her a lady of
- 02:22
my own opponents more soothing and gentle like you know
- 02:26
like a bath soap that it is passionate so yet
- 02:29
love and passion is not there And rather than hinting
- 02:31
at recklessness the poem describes a sort of natural order
- 02:35
with many elements of nature surrounding and celebrating the lady
- 02:39
So recklessness and freedom No we're not head out on
- 02:42
the high highway looking for adventure Yeah that's What you'd 00:02:45.578 --> [endTime] find in the west will stop singing
