In the excerpt from A Valediction Forbidding Mourning, choose the response that best explains the meaning of the metaphor As Stiff twin compasses are two, they soul the fixed foot makes no show to move but doth, if th" other do
The metaphor "As Stiff twin compasses are two, they soul the fixed foot makes no show to move but doth, if th' other do" means that like a pair of stiff drawing compasses, the two souls of the lovers remain connected and in perfect harmony even though they may physically be apart. The fixed foot of the compass represents one lover, while the other lover's movement causes the fixed foot to move as well. This metaphor illustrates the idea that despite physical distance, the souls of the lovers remain connected and move together in perfect unison.
