Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the D) It addresses a traditional subject with a nontraditional structure.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is an excerpt from "Love Song," a poem by William Carlos Williams (1883–1963), one of the main poets of the Imagist movement. It illustrates Modernist ideals by addressing the traditional subject of love in a nontraditional sense, using a new form of expression that requires the reader to be engaged and to play an active role in the interpretation of the text. The poem is short and it features free verse and a wealth of visual images. The speaker seems to be describing what he or she sees (a yellow stain that permeates everything, and which could be interpreted as the arrival of a new season) while lying down and thinking of his or her beloved one, who seems to be far away, "under the wine-red selvage of the west!"

Lines 9-12 compare the "ashes of youth" to _____. a deathbed twilight fire youth
maw [93]

Answer:

Compares the "ashes of youth" to a "youth"

Explanation:

In these lines, the author tends to compare himself to the glowing remnants of a fire, which lie on the ashes that once let it burn; it will be extinguished as it sinks. It reveals that the youthful life is gone as ashes which happens to bring one on the deathbed. Therefore, it's comparing the life of a youth as ashes of youth which is gone as one on their deathbed which means inevitable death.

This is from Sonnet 73 by William Shakespeare.

How does stanza 1 contribute to the development of the poem’s theme? sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

In stanza 1, the author describes the outside world the bird is kept from. He says he knows what it feels like to lose your freedom, just like the bird in the cage, and describes a beautiful landscape that includes the sun, wind, grass, river, etc. This idealized description could represent an introduction for describing the bird's sad fate and depicts its agony in the cage (as the bird does not belong there).

The poem describes the lack of freedom through a metaphor with a bird in a cage, describes how terrible is the life without freedom. By stating he knows how to bird feels, we can conclude that the lack of liberty also affects the poet's life, because he is feeling the same as the bird.

In his poem <em>Sympathy</em>, Paul Laurence Dunbar tried to describe the oppression of African-American people, their lack of liberty, oppressed rights and bad treatment they had. With this poem, he tries to describe their miserable life without any joy or hope.
