Sappho's lyric poetry featured expressions of intense emotion. Which two statements best express the speaker's emotions toward A

tthis?
by Sappho

Long ago beloved, thy memory, Atthis,
Saddens still my heart as the soft Æolic
Twilight deepens down on the sea, and fitful
Winds that have wandered

Over groves of myrtle at Amathonte
Waft forgotten passion on breaths of perfume.
Long ago, how madly I loved thee, Atthis!
Faithless, light-hearted

Loved one, mine no more, who lovest another
More than me; the silent flute and the faded
Garlands haunt the heart of me thou forgettest,
Long since thy lover.

a) The speaker still feels sad about Atthis’s unfaithfulness.
b) The speaker feels wonder at the amount of time that has passed.
c) The speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.

The two statements that best express the speaker's emotions toward Atthis are a)the speaker still feels sad about Atthis' unfaithfulness, and c) the speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.

The first stanza expresses nostalgia and sadness because it speaks of a time long passed, and the images of twilight on the sea and winds that have gone and will not come back reinforce the idea.

The last stanza expresses sadness that Atthis loves another more than her, thus being unfaithful to someone that loved her madly.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

C. Revising a poem’s ideas and words

Explanation:

This question refers to Mackenzie Connellee's poem "Invitation".

There, the author counters the claim that writing poetry is easy work and gives some examples of the creative process.

In the mentioned lines, the author makes a metaphor about poetry "slopping lazily over the couch of a page" while the author has to "remove its muddy shoes and rearrange the pillows". That means that it takes some hard work and long road from the idea and raw material to the finished poem.

Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero explains to Miranda how Antonio usurped him.
Iteru [2.4K]

"The Tempest" is considered a revenge tragedy. The usurpation of Prospero's dukedom from Antonio, his own beloved brother, is an indication of his distemper. Words that can create a tone of reproach and melancholy for the past are: "evil nature", falsehood", "perfidious" which are attributed to the dishonest brother. Miranda appears to live in a dream place where corruption and malevolence do not exist. However, Prospero's negative attitue towards Antonio expresses that there is evil in human nature and it can even come from close acquaintances and family.
