The poem is rose pogonias by Robert frost
so? what’s the answer
To find a metaphor in the poem "Rose Pogonias" by Robert Frost, we need to analyze the given lines to identify any figurative language that compares two different things. Let's examine the choices:
A. Lines 1 and 2:
"A saturated meadow,
Sun-shaped and jewel small"
These lines describe the meadow, but they do not contain a metaphor.
B. Lines 5 and 6:
"Where that with sheer blue
The flowers go..."
These lines describe the color of the flowers, but they do not contain a metaphor.
C. Lines 10 and 11:
"Her crop of fruit
Fell heavily..."
These lines describe the fruit falling, but they do not contain a metaphor.
D. Lines 13 and 14:
"Like the faintest far
Velleity of Vast"
These lines compare the faintness of something to a "velleity of Vast." The word "velleity" means a wish or a longing, so here the poet is using a metaphor to compare the faintness to a distant and barely tangible desire. Therefore, the answer is D. lines 13 and 14.
