| Back | 'holy shrine', 'gentle sin', 'saints lips' - Romeo (A1S5) He is using religious language and metaphors to express his love for Juliet and to highlight what she means to him. She is seemingly pure, gentle and innocent. For saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss - Juliet (A1S5) She's reflecting Romeo's language and being manipulated. She is saying that she is not a saint and that she has hands which touch those of pilgrims like him. |
