I had an assignment on the Scarlet Ibis, 6 questions, this was the one that befuddled me: In the beginning of "The Scarlet Ibis" the author uses the word clove, look up a definition that fits this context.
The text is, "It was in the clove of seasons, summer was dead but autumn had not yet been born, that the ibis lit in the bleeding tree."
By the context I'm asuming that it means at the end of one or in between two seasons, or something of the sorts. But my teacher says we need to actually have a definition from a dictionary, not our assumptions from context.
Any help?
