Meeting at Night" The gray sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves th

at leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove1 with pushing prow2, And quench its speed i’3 the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A rap at the pane4, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, thro’5 its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each. . —Robert Browning 1 A cove is a small inlet from the sea. 2 A prow is the front end of a boat. 3 i’ is short for in. 4 Pane refers to a windowpane. 5 Thro’ is short for through. Each stanza in this poem has six lines.

1- The first stanza rhymes with the sixth, the second one with the fifth and the third with the fourth. You can clearly observe this due to the ending sound of the chosen words at the end of each line.

2-The main idea of this poem is to express the longing and desire that a lover has to finally reach the person he loves. The imagery used by Browning constantly implies the longing feeling one lover feels towards the other.

3- The first stanza depicts a person who must endure the time and space that's between him and his lover. The phrase 'fiery ringlets' describe the way his lover's hair looks like.

4- The main character comes to the realization that time and space are non existent for those who are in love as they become one and the same.

I believe the answer is C. Robin liked to combine old ideas with new ones. It never says her grandmother liked to write letters with her, it doesn't say that her grandmother gave her stationary, and she wrote her letters by hand.
