Inquisitor 1143

I'm stuck on 2 things:-

9D Ed's frozen because of your capsizing (5) FROR? M has to be left out of wordplay. Is it FRORE, FRORN or FRORY. All mean frozen (I take it the Ed refers to Edmund Spenser).

Also the highlights. I have the 3 basics and the 2 identical shapes, but do not understand what the (9) (7) and (5) means. Any ideas please?

[bellabee]

frory - 'because of' = from (-m) + 'your capsizing' = yr backwards. Look between the foundations work upwards, left and downwards in one continuous line.The three words make a structure.

[BradleyGas]

Thanks bellabee, appreciated.

Would the (7) and (5) be a two-word phrase rather than distinct entries?

Still missing the (9) even though I guess I have five letters of it, which is puzzling me a lot.

[BradleyGas]

Very grateful for the 9D answer (frory) but I still cannot understand (9) (7) (5). I just cannot see it even though bellabee explained it. What am I missing????

[hooplah]

Ok, I think I've cracked it. The first letter of (9) is the initial C of one of the unclued entries. The three words go straight up, then across then down in a symmetrical fashion. All words involved are examples of both elements of the theme quotation, though one or two are perhaps tenuous or obscure.

I've no idea what the highlighted shapes are supposed to represent.
