I need help understanding this please!

THE POEM:
http://www.bartleby.com/123/2.html......

I have to explain what it means. I understand the first stanza about it saying that the cherry trees is blossomed with cherry flowers along the limbs and it stands out when one is riding wearing white for Spring (Eastertide.)

But I don't understand the rest!

1.) How old is the person that the poem is talking about? (2nd Stanza. - I THINK he's 70?)

2.) What does, "To see the cherry hung with snow." mean?
Because isn't it impossible because they cannot grow during winter? (the snow.) (3rd Stanza)

I really need help with this. =\
Thanks in advance!


THANKS! <33

This will get your gears turning. Try putting a piece of paper with wishes of things that you want in an empty water bottle.

I am inspired by the Spanish artist Picasso

I want to know how to get my art 'out there'

I have pictures of my painting on my myspace page.

The art I have made is portraying the concept of songs.

How do I become a 'Brit artist' like Tracey Emin

The question is as simple as that. How does one go about changing the world? There is no wrong answer, so give it your best.

People always say that the Lambada is forbidden but I've always wondered why.

What is the origin of this dance?

Can I see it in any ballroom competitions?

:)

Thanks!

The technique is when the story starts, let's say at a wedding, yet the bulk of the story is about what led up to the wedding. So the writer starts out by writing the ending first, then uses flashbacks to retell the story and how it ended up at the climax, of example, the wedding. There is a Greek literary term for this type of literary technique. What's that term called?

Even though I am not a Christian, this is a serious question.

I’ve heard many people make comments along the lines of ‘we’ll have to wait until we die to know the answer to that’, etc.

The concept is that all will be known when their soul get wherever it’s going.

Is there any basis for assuming that just because you die you somehow magically get all this knowledge?

When I Die Will You Still Love Me?

When I die,
I'll still love you with all my heart,
I'll be looking down on you praying you'll still be happy,
I'll be hoping you still remember the great times we had.
And when I die,
I'll still be thinking about you every minute of every day,
I'll be thinking about whether you still think about me,
I'll be thinking about how much I really meant to you,
But when I die,
Will you still think about me?
Will you remember the days we spent together holding hands and laughing?
Will you still have room for me in your heart?
So when I die,
Will you still love me?
