Explain the meaning of underlined line: ch3
From the eyes streamed rays of scarlet
light, the mouth was a wide well of fire, and a hideous garment, like
to his own, swathed with its silent snows the Titan form
Dear student
The Canterville ghost saw a figure, dressed like himself, in a white cloth. The white cloth was "swathed", meaning it was wrapped around the figure in several layers. The motionless layers of the white cloth are compared with motionless and silent layers of white snow. The figure had a titan form, meaning it was large in stature.
Regards
