an open boat
by alfred noyes
o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 


'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.

look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,

the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'



 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,

 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,

 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover

 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.

'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,

he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.

 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
-
'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.


'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -

o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!

 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,

 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day.
which choice best describes the conflict in this poem?
the winds are rocking the boat.
a man is thrown into the sea.
a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover.
someone is crying in the darkness.

Which lines in this excerpt from act ii of william shakespeare’s romeo and juliet reveal that mercutio thinks romeo would be better off if he stopped thinking about love? mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest. romeo: nay, good goose, bite not. mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting it is a most sharp sauce. romeo: and is it not well served in to a sweet goose? mercutio: o here's a wit of cheveril, that stretches from an inch narrow to an ell broad! romeo: i stretch it out for that word 'broad; ' which added to the goose, proves thee far and wide a broad goose. mercutio: why, is not this better now than groaning for love? now art thou sociable, now art thou romeo; now art thou what thou art, by art as well as by nature: for this drivelling love is like a great natural, that runs lolling up and down to hide his bauble in a hole. benvolio: stop there, stop there. mercutio: thou desirest me to stop in my tale against the hair. benvolio: thou wouldst else have made thy tale large. mercutio: o, thou art deceived; i would have made it short: for i was come to the whole depth of my tale; and meant, indeed, to occupy the argument no longer.
