| Back | •'faynting' is involuntary & masochistic impulse - overwhelmed by desire? Sense of physical distress & going against better judgement •Line break reinforces the distance between the two and the positioning of 'faynting' at the start of the sentence emhpasises his unfit state •Is this folly or does it engender (give rise to) how his moral sense / sense of self-preservation is eclipsed by his love •'hold' is gentler verb than 'trap' => more sensual feelings the longer he considers her |
