Question

part b
what does the speaker mean by the line
or hungry wolves at him shall catch\ in the poem \as weary pilgrim, now at rest\?

Explanation:

In the poem "As Weary Pilgrim, Now at Rest", the line "Nor hungry wolves at him shall catch" uses the metaphor of "hungry wolves" to represent threats, dangers, or hardships in life (like enemies, misfortunes, or struggles). The phrase means that the pilgrim (now at rest, likely deceased or at peace) will no longer be pursued or harmed by such adversities. The wolf imagery symbolizes predatory, harmful forces, and "nor... shall catch" implies safety from those forces in death or rest.

Answer:

The line means the (now - at - rest) pilgrim will no longer be pursued/harmed by threatening, harmful forces (symbolized by “hungry wolves”) that could represent life’s hardships, enemies, or misfortunes.
