- Description
- The key rhyming pair place and grace appears several times in TC, notably at the center of the poem. Up to the moment of the lovers' consummation, both words have a positive, sometimes spiritual connotation and intensity, but after that passage each term becomes associated with materiality rather than the ideal.
