Hi Haihao,
Do you allow me to make a try? But don't take my explanation seriously as I am completely at sea today. :wink:
1. Maybe you are right with 'hail' but when I read the sentence my immediate thought was that 'in a charge of' was 'in a form of'. But your assumption seems more reasonable, of course.
2.Its refers to (a wave of) smoke, I think.
3.Yes.The myriad bits of paper in a paperweight with like alabaster particles to be a simile( I think).
4. These epithets cannot be perceived literally but figuratively.
I hope other moderators will correct me! :wink: |

Thank you, Pamela, for your insightful paraphrase. It really helped, and hit the nail on the head, I think. I am happy you still remember and care for your old friends here on the site, :) and hope you could show up more often when you have time.
