How does the conflict contribute to the development of the story? “Now, before it’s too late,” panted Sarah. “Now, Father!”
“Yes, Daughter, the time is come,” Toby answered. “Go,
as you know how to go!”
He raised his arms, holding them out to her. “Kum . . . yali,
kum buba tambe,” and more magic words, said so quickly,
they sounded like whispers and sighs.
The young woman lifted one foot on the air. Then the
other. She flew clumsily at first, with the child now held
tightly in her arms. Then she felt the magic, the African
mystery. Say she rose just as free as a bird. As light as a feather.
The Overseer rode after her, hollering. Sarah flew over
the fences. She flew over the woods. Tall trees could not
snag her. Nor could the Overseer. She flew like an eagle now,
until she was gone from sight. No one dared speak about it.
Couldn’t believe it. But it was, because they that was there
saw that it was.

Say the next day was dead hot in the fields. A young man slave
fell from the heat. The Driver come and whipped him. Toby
come over and spoke words to the fallen one. The words of
ancient Africa once heard are never remembered completely.
The young man forgot them as soon as he heard them. They
went way inside him. He got up and rolled over on the air. He
rode it awhile. And he flew away.

Explanation:

sorry if im wrong

the primary theme of "elegy written in a country churchyard" is a reflection about the significance of the lives of a group of modest people buried in a rural church cemetery. elegies focus on the death of an individual or group of people, and they generally have a melancholy tone. hope this you all.

1.   in sonnet 18, the speaker wants to describe the beauty of his love, but can’t find the words to do so. the speaker says “then in mid-utterance the lay was lost” when he tries to think of the words to describe his love’s beauty.   through his defeat of finding words to describe his love, he shows his love for her.

2.   instead of describing how perfect his love is or comparing her to other beautiful things, he says she is average and there is nothing special about her.   at the last 2 lines of the poem, the volta changes the poem by saying that even though his love is average in beauty, his love for her is special and unique. so instead of praising her throughout the whole poem, he contrasts her average characteristics with his special love for her.

3.   the beloved asked the speaker to describe how he feels about her. she begins to describe what she feels but "drop the torch" and says that she can't do it because the words "hid in me out of reach." the the speaker says "nay, let the silence of my womanhood command my woman-love to thy belief" and that her silence will have to be the answer to his question.
