Answer: The excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life is the one by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress."
Explanation: This excerpt from Marvell's famous poem is specifically referring to the ephemeral nature of life, since the speaker is saying that he is constantly hearing the chariot of time - which is fast since it has wings - hurrying near, and eternity is ahead of us waiting for all of us. This poem is, in fact, a call to seize the day (<em>carpe diem</em>) and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. The speaker is telling to his coy mistress that if time was unlimited they could wait before courting and loving each other, but it is not, so he is urging her to let him love her.
Answer:
The excerpt from:
- "Annabel Lee" is written in a sestet
- "In Memorium" is written in a quatrain
- "Nothing Gold Can Stay" is written in an octave
- "Hero and Leander" is written in couplets
Explanation:
A sestet is a stanza composed of six lines, a quatrain of four lines, an octave is written in eight lines, and a couplet is a set of two rhyming lines, usually written in the same meter.
It is important to note that the definitions of all these types of stanzas have varied with different works and origins and some can further be classified into various sub-types depending on their position in the poem, meter, use, etc., and can be further elaborated with typical rhyme schemes that they use; however, the common aspect that they share is the number of lines, which is what the question is based on.
