Answer to Question 1


  • In contemporary usage, the word means sulky, ill-humored; taken in that sense, it might connect the poetspeaker with the raging moon and the lovers with all their griefs in their arms. But the derivation of the word, as given in the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition (2009), offers another angle of interpretation: Middle English solein, from Anglo-Norman solein, alone, from sol, single, from Latin solus, by oneself alone.



Answer to Question 2


  • Craft can denote both artistry (craftsmanship) and guile (craftiness). Trade suggests both a swap or exchange and ones line of work. Charms brings to mind both trinkets and magical spells. All of these meanings have some relevance in the context of the poem.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
