How to interpret these verses?

word-order poetry

Solution 1:

  1. No, there is no need. Or perhaps it is the idiom. The line enumerates, or counts off, the people for whom her spirit quails. The listing of people in From ... To might be anything from any range or set. They are merely elements. From Sam and Joe to Walter, she quails. From spark plugs to gas tanks Fred has it all.

  2. Skating is a visual reference offering a picture of her moving lightly across the snow. Stated as From skating means she had been doing that but is now lying on the snow. (I am ready for anyone to tell me a better meaning to skating than skating.)

    1. Yes, pretty much. The word order in Well may thy gallant acts claim classic praise throws one off since it is antiquated. Think rather May thy gallant acts claim classic praise well.
