his bending sickle's compass
Advertisements
उत्तर
Compass is considered as a symbol of eternity. However, in the poem, it represents the change that a relationship goes through as it grows, old, and less intense. How a man's love for his young beloved grows less as he gave value to beauty over spiritual love. Though the love never dies, the physical beauty of a lover may fade and withers as it falls to time's compass' sickle.
