Which two lines in the poem indicate its theme? a shadow by henry wadsworth longfellow i said unto myself, if i were dead, what would befall these children? what would be their fate, who now are looking up to me for and furtherance? their lives, i said, would be a volume wherein i have read but the first chapters, and no longer see to read the rest of their dear history, so full of beauty and so full of dread. be comforted; the world is very old, and generations pass, as they have passed, a troop of shadows moving with the sun; thousands of times has the old tale been told; the world belongs to those who come the last, they will find hope and strength as we have done.

The following two verses express the poem théme:

"Be comforted; the world is very old,

And generations pass, as they have passed."

This poem is from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), an American poet whose verses are still being recovered by young generations.

The poem theme is time as the factor which separates life and death. That´s why we can read in the first verses:

"if I were dead,

What would befall these children?".

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
