“the summer lapsed away” what does this show
narrator establishes a link between summer and grief
“to seem like Perfidy” what does this show
sad summer is over - it it not a betrayal but she doesn’t welcome it’s end - she feels the same about grief
“a quietness distilled” what does this show
summer and grief are associated with a sense of stillness - comforting not isolating
“the morning foreign shone” what does this show
morning symbolises the end of grief - “foreign” suggests it feels strange to leave grief behind
“as guest that would be gone” what does this show
personification - morning is like a person that wants to leave, suggests everything comes to an end even if you don’t want it to
“made her light escape into the beautiful” what does this show
escape shows grief has also faded away - it always ends positively - personification of summers escape is an extended metaphor to describe her grief
