My reading was… fresh is new, everyone is world, weather (as a verb) is brave and “that seizes your spirit” may apply just as well to Miranda as it does John.

I read it when I was at school....so 60 odd years ago! I can't remember much about it, certainly none of the characters. Thus your explanation hasn't helped.

The book and the play, Paul… Miranda is in the Tempest, John is in BNW, I may have been overthinking (it wouldn’t be the first time!)

Yes, jono. Generally, “that seizes the spirit” is the definition, with “that” as relative pronoun in the surface reading but demonstrative in the definition, and alluding to "O brave new world, that has such people in it!", “getting”…”fresh” (new) with “everyone” (world, as in the world is watching) after “weather” (brave, as in brave or weather the storm). The world of the book takes over the mind and spirit. If everyone objects I’ll step aside.
But thanks, jono, for hosting and for the prizes. Medieval babies probably WERE more articulate. And isn’t it something how that slow movement of the symphony morphed into a spiritual?
