floods.

I think it is B...Hitler but memories is a thought also

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a copy of the poem online. I can't help you.

Thanks anyhow...

Hitler

To determine the answer to this question, we need to understand Auden's poem "The Ten Songs" and analyze the context of the speaker. Auden is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, known for his diverse themes and intricate imagery.

To begin, we can eliminate some of the options based on historical knowledge. Auden's work often involves social and political commentary, so the option of fleeing from floods seems less likely. Similarly, while Auden did write during the time of Hitler's rise to power, it is important to note that Auden was a British citizen and primarily focused on the human condition, rather than specific historical events or individuals. Therefore, the option of fleeing from Hitler can also be ruled out.

Now we are left with two possibilities: police and memories. Understanding the poem in which this line appears can provide further insight into the speaker's intent. However, without the full text of the poem, it is challenging to provide an accurate and definitive answer. The speaker could be trying to escape from their past memories, which might be haunting and burdening them. On the other hand, the speaker might be fleeing from the authorities, specifically the police, due to their actions or personal circumstances.

To conclusively determine the correct answer, it would be best to refer to the original poem "The Ten Songs" by Auden and analyze the specific lines and verses surrounding the mentioned speaker's intent and context.

I'll be glad to check your answer.
