Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)

[MC]

In the poem "The Sun Has Long Been Set," what is suggested in the poet's use of quotation marks around the words in the excerpt below?

Who would "go parading"
In London, "and masquerading,"

The speaker feels these are formal activities.
The activities in the city are contradictory.
There are many ways that nature mimics culture.
There is something artificial about these activities.

Answer 1

The Sun Has Long Been Set
by William Wordsworth

The sun has long been set,
The stars are out by twos and threes,
The little birds are piping yet
Among the bushes and trees;
There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,
And a far-off wind that rushes,
And a sound of water that gushes,
And the cuckoo's sovereign cry
Fills all the hollow of the sky.
Who would "go parading"
In London, "and masquerading,"
On such a night of June
With that beautiful soft half-moon,
And all these innocent blisses?
On such a night as this is!
