What wonder then, fair nymph! thy hairs should feel,The conquering force of unresisted steel?
Answer: These remarkable and conspicuous lines have been taken from the poem “The Rape of the Lock” by Alexander Pope, the great 18" century poet. Here the poet has depicted the invincible power of steel to destroy things beginning from an individual to a civilization.
It is known to all that steel is a hard and powerful metal. It has the strength and capacity to bring to an end to anybody or anything. The great structures, monuments, cities, and civilizations that have survived the wears and tears of time, steel can annihilate it within a® while with its mighty stroke. Steel is so powerful that it can even 'destroy the very labors of gods who worked hard to establish and. secure the imperial city of Troy. But the mighty steel brought down to dust all the enviable walls and towers of the great city of Troy. Human beings create a structure with long labors, they build 'triumphal arches with toilsome efforts, but steel destroys it all in times of war or vengeance.
So, there should not be any wonder that beautiful Belinda would be a victim of the ‘conquering force of unresisted steel’.
