‘Like an heiress’
what does a wider view link to?
In a London drawing room as has ideas of place and negative effect of the world and wanting to be away from it.
Jewellery maker both have heritage of being in a workplace like making jewellery and being in factory
shall earth no more inspire thee connects by exploring disconnection of nature like ‘lonely dreamer’ and ‘he craved the comfort of a wider view’
What quotes fit with a wider view and a London drawing room ?
‘in the smoke-filled sky to stack his dreams’ (from a wider view) and ‘The sky is cloudy, yellowed by the smoke’ and also the quote ‘from the backyard of his back-to-back’ and ‘Monotony of surface and form’ which means that everything looks the same and can express feelings of being light- headed from being so close to other people. Also ‘searched for spaces’ and ‘without a break to hang a guess upon.’ Both show how nature has been lost and been replaced with buildings and that there’s no space left to take or flee to.
What quotes fit with The jewellery maker and a wider view?
‘from twelve hours combing flax’ and ‘he sits straight-backed, lays out his tools’ shows the hard work that they do and also ‘Today, my footsteps echo’, While the curve of past and future generations arcs between us’ connects to ‘he walks to the workshop-like his father before him, and his father too-‘ shows the different generations following the same footsteps and routines and those before them showing how important heritage and home & belonging is to them.
