Question

Percy Bysshe Shelley was an English romantic poet who wrote lyric poetry. In what ways does this excerpt from Shelley's “A Bridal Song” represent the lyric poetry of the nineteenth century?

The golden gates of Sleep unbar
Where Strength and Beauty, met together,
Kindle their image like a star
In a sea of glassy weather!
Night, with all thy stars look down,—
Darkness, weep thy holiest dew,—
Never smiled the inconstant moon
On a pair so true.

A.
The poem uses figurative language and rhyme to express the speaker's ideas.
B.
The poem uses imagery and a narrative structure to express the speaker's emotions.
C.
The poem addresses an unknown person the speaker is missing.
D.
The poem's form is completely free, without any rhyme or metrical pattern.

Answer 1

I'm gonna go with the second one. It isn't C or D because they aren't talking about a person. And there is a bunch of rhymes, so definitely not that one. And not A because he isn't showing any ideas he's expressing.

Answer 2

TY

Answer 3
