Which of these excerpts from poems by emily dickinson uses irony?
my cocoon tightens, colors tease,
i'm feeling for the air;
a dim capacity for wings
degrades the dress i wear.
could she have guessed that it would be;
could but a crier of the glee
have climbed the distant hill;
had not the bliss so slow a pace, —
who knows but this surrendered face
were undefeated still?
one dignity delays for all,
one mitred afternoon.
none can avoid this purple,
none evade this crown.
there's a certain slant of light,
on winter afternoons,
that oppresses, like the weight
of cathedral tunes.
heavenly hurt it gives us;
we can find no scar,
but internal difference
where the meanings are.
exultation is the going
of an inland soul to sea, —
past the houses, past the headlands,
into deep eternity!

Read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major's speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of jones's gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them. what was most likely orwell’s purpose for writing this passage? to show that clover is more sensitive to violence than the others to remind readers of major's speech and the original rebellion to present napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives
