contrast between laura VS lizzie

bow’d her head to hear VS veiled her blushes

look, lizzie, look, lizzie VS no, no, no

imagery of the goblins appearance

cat’s face, whisked a tail, tramped at a rat’s pace

laura imagery during her assault

like a rush-imbedded swan,

like a lily from the beck,

like a moonlit poplar branch,

like a vessel at the launch

when its last restraint is gone

what was said when laura had no money?

“buy from us with a golden curl.”

she clipped a precious golden lock,

she dropped a tear more rare than pearl

description of the fruit when laura was eating

sweeter than honey from the rock

stronger than man-rejoicing wine

clearer than water flowed that juice

how did laura eat the fruit?

she sucked and sucked and sucked the more

how did the goblins react when lizzie came to buy from them?

came towards her hobbling

flying, running, leaping,

puffing and blowing

chuckling, clapping, crowing,

clucking and gobbling

repetition of “and” lizzie buying fruit

they trod and hustled her,

elbowed and jostled her

consonance describing the assault on lizzie

“clawed… twitched… stamped.”

“barking, mewing, hissing, mocking”

after the assault

Like a lily in a flood, -

like a rock of blue-veined stone

lashed by tides obsetreperously, -

like a beacon left alone

in a hoary roaring sea

sending up a golden fire, -

like a fruit-crowned orange-tree

white with blossoms honey-sweet

sore beset by wasp and bee, -

her sacrifice

For your sake I have braved the glen

And had to do with goblin merchant men

analogy for communion

Eat me, drink me, love me;

Laura, make much of me:
