Ineffable |
| Question: |
What is the significance of Pallas being described as both "ineffable and effable" in this passage? |
| Answer: |
The significance of Pallas being described as both "ineffable and effable" in this passage is that it acknowledges her divine and mortal qualities. "Ineffable" means that her divine nature is beyond words and description, while "effable" means that her mortal nature can be described and communicated. |

O Beauty, out of many a cup
You have made me drunk and wild
Ever since I was a child,
But when have I been sure as now
That no

And no sorrow wholly bow
One who loves you to the end?
