Unit 1 ENG B Plato Test 2023 with complete solution
How do these final lines from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge affect the
overall tone of the poem?
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
In "Kubla Khan," Coleridge describes the creation and destruction of Kubla Khan's
palace in the EXOCTIC location of Xanadu, which gives the poem a DREAMLIKE
quality. Through the HISTORICAL character of Kubla Khan, Coleridge uses the wild
image of the Mongols to suggest that Kubla Khan is insane, implying that all creative
actions are the acts of MAD men.
The last lines bring the poem to a CLIMACTIC close. Flashing eyes evoke the image of
passionate creativity. By talking about "holy dread," Coleridge suggests that creation is
both SACRED and demonic.
Which lines in William Wordsworth's poem reflect the poet's view that nature's beauty
can live on in our memories and continue to delight us even after our experience with it
has passed?
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
, They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" most reflects which

Belief in the supernatural
"The World Is Too Much with Us" is a Petrarchan sonnet written by William Wordsworth.
Its first eight lines (the octet) pose a question or problem, and its last six lines (the
sestet) give a response or solution. The problem in this sonnet's octet is that humanity
has lost its respect for and connection with nature. In the sestet, how does Wordsworth
propose to address this problem?
The World Is Too Much with Us
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!1
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea2,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus3 rising from the sea;
Or hear old Triton4 blow his wreathed horn.
