Question:

What do these figures of speech mean?

Now when the young Dawn showed again with her rosy fingers, . . . . . . to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? On the moors the hare is running races in her mirth. . . . to run over better waters the little vessel of my genius hoists its sails. Actually, half the words i don't even understand, if you could explain some of them for me, pleasee?

Answer:

it's a metaphor, describing how the sun was rising. . . . to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? to take arms meant to fight, a sea of troubles would be refering to a problem or a conflict, and opposing end them means to to win or defeat them by oposition... so...it means....to over come a problem using oposition. On the moors the hare is running races in her mirth. I would take thisn one to mean on the moors(game preserve) the rabbit is running races with her mirth (happiness). meaning she is trying to be/stay happy. . . . to run over better waters the little vessel of my genius hoists its sails. this one i am not sure what it is trying to say, i think for it i would need more of the story line.
