What is the meaning of the following quote? "paintings and poems are moments, capturing or seducing us, when we are so vulnerable" i am trying to figure out what it means but i am having a hard time understanding the meaning of that quote. me.

Take it a little at a time.

Paintings and poems are moments.

That's certainly true of a painting isn't it? Take Mona Lisa which is probably one of the most famous of a work of art capturing a moment. Much has been written about her smile. Just for an instant, something struck her as amusing and long after her death, we wonder what it was.

Capturing or seducing us

We are brought into the painter's world, especially if the painting is at all interesting or unusual, or somehow engaging. The moment we stop and look at it, it has either captured our attention or completely seduced us.

when we are so vulnerable

When we stop in front of a painting, we are already prepared to have our emotions invaded. That's why we go to art gallerys or read poetry. We are expecting whatever our reaction is. We want it to happen. We need that trigger that brings our emotions to the surface.

a. symbolism

b. opinions

all of them

c. hidden messages

d. political statements

including the octave, the answer would 8 notes in a major scale with one note being played twice. ex) c major scale includes: c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c

notice that c is played twice

however, if you were to ask me how many different notes are in a major scale- the answer would be 7.
