Question

Which of these excerpts from the end of the poem suggests that Imogen has reconciled herself to her situation in life? And there was Jane the sister, and the mother,— / Her sister, and the mother of them all. They were not hers, not even one of them: / She was not born to be so much as that For she was born to be Aunt Imogen Now she could make stars out where once had palled / A future’s emptiness

Answer 1

The excerpt from the end of the poem that suggests that Imogen has reconciled herself to her situation in life  is She was not born to be so much as that For she was born to be Aunt Imogen Now she could make stars out where once had palled.

In this excerpt Imogen accepts that she will always be an  aunt, not a mother. She realizes she it is high time she lifted  the cloth (pall) that had once not allowed to see the brightness of her situation (stars).
