what is the meaning of the " as if they already stood aghast at the bloody work they would look upon form the poem Paul Revere
Where does this come from? Context is needed.
??
It comes from the poem Paul Revere by Longfellow. Then line before is And the meeting house windows, blank and bare gaze at him with a spectral glare.
Longfellow uses personification here as he sees the windows blankly staring out. He imagines that they have already seen the bloody battles of the Revolutionary War.
