Edgar Allan Poe uses a pair of rhyming words to describe trying to hold sand in “A Dream Within a Dream.” In a short paragraph, tell what the words are and how they express the speaker’s feelings. Use details from the poem to support your answer.
I just need help finding the rhyming words. I think it's "grasp" and "clasp" but I'm not sure. Here is the poem. : I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Thank you in advance.

@SCCA Teacher, If it's cheating, then... Why are you on this website...? I mean, i'm only here because I check my answers. I don't cheat, not everyone is a cheater you know, and you can't think everyone here wants to cheat. I know some people do, but i'm pretty sure the majority are just checking their answers. So the point is moot to say that when that is honestly the reason why this website exists.
It's pretty hot here.
Also, why are there so many arguments?
Just doesn't make sense.
true SCCA Teacher agree

Thank you friend😀
Chill yall
Don't be rude. He or she is trying to help! Thank you writeacher!
You all need to stop, Writeteacher is doing the best she can to help. This is very rude and disrespectful. Who taught you to say those things? I don't think you want your parents hearing you say these things because I would be in big trouble so I don't say things like that....just some advice in the future.
!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*()@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()@#$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*()_
I think the closest possible pair is,
"How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep."
You have to do the rest on your own though.
soOOooOooo….. ima just tell yall the answer for #3: I believe that the sand in the poem symbolizes time. The fact that the sand is constantly slipping through the narrator's hands and his inability to 'grasp it with a tighter clasp' means that he is running out of time and that he is trying to keep it for himself, but is ultimately failing to do that. Time is running out on him and it is futile to try to chase after it. BTW it's 100% :)
guys im not rlly supposed to cheat or tell yall the answers, but since I found nobody helping I felt bad..Hope this helps!!
