How does a Hebrew shrug?
Submit
Answer (optional):
The shrug is described as "pure Hebraic" because it suggests a gesture or attitude associated with Jewish culture or language. In this context, it may refer to a sense of resignation or acceptance of one's fate, which contrasts with the earlier description of the speaker as a "blithe Hellene," or carefree Greek. The line highlights the cultural shift and inner conflict experienced by the speaker in the poem.
