in mortal fear (idiom)

Free ride

Know one's word

far away and difficult of access

Writers and poets

clever strategy and shrewd tactics(crafty plan)

great enmity and deep hostility

keep one's integrity against conquerors

accurate plans and shrewd calculations

injure both others and self

put on the shelf

speak vulgar language and shout abuses in the street

desolate remote mountainous area

a glip tongue(smooth talk)

bear sons and daughters(multiply the earth)

bring one's wisdom into full play

city of strong fortification

manners of the world and hearts of human beings

sacrifice one's own interests for the sake of others

strong as the pine tree in winter
