Re: thatch-eves

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mgarizona and Se16teddy,
Thank you!!!!

In the Oxford Anthology of English Literature is written thatch-eves not eaves, by the way. Bartleby´s version is the Francis T. Palgrave, ed. (1824–1897). The Golden Treasury. 1875.
The anthology´s version is dated 1819-1820.
cheers

我看到一个很有意思的注解：

conspiring with him how to load and bless

Conspiring Working together; literally, to conspire is “to breathe together” (OED)

埃文河天鹅

新牛津英语词典
conspire: verb [no object] make secret plans jointly to commit an unlawful or harmful act: they conspired against him [with infinitive] they deny conspiring to defraud the Inland Revenue
[with infinitive] (of events or circumstances] seem to be working together to bring about a particular result, typically to someone's detriment: everything conspires to exacerbate the situation.

ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French conspire, from Latin conspirare 'agree, plot'. from con - 'together with' + spirare 'breathe'

这个注解让秋颂中conspire的意象更加丰满了。

跟中国的‘串通’相似。
