Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the E) The thirst for knowledge and new experiences.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are several references in the poem, and in this particular passage, to this concept, which turn it into a recurring theme. For instance, the speaker says: "How dull it is to pause [...] To rust unburnish'd" and "[...] this gray spirit yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star," just to name a few. Like Ulysses before embarking upon his final and challenging voyage, the speaker is also aware that his end is approaching, but rather than waiting for it passively, he decides to face the challenges and the struggles, and, moved by his thirst for knowledge, he keeps pushing onward. The death of a close friend at a very young age inspired Tennyson to write this poem in 1833.

Gala2k [10]

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in September 24, 1896 and died in December 21, 1940. He was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the ostentation and excess of the Jazz Age. While he reached popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death. He was Perhaps the most notable member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. Fitzgerald is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and ...., The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published after his death.

"Winter Dreams" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that first appeared in Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922. It was collected in All the Sad Young Men in 1926. It is considered one of Fitzgerald's finest stories and is frequently anthologized.

In which line from this excerpt of John Keats's "Ode to Autumn" has the poet personified the season of autumn as a young maiden?
bekas [8.4K]
Probably the first line, "Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind..."
When I think of a "young maiden", I think of a girl with long, pretty hair. Keats describes just that in the first line. The other lines can be interpreted as anything, but aren't exactly like a young maiden.
