Read the poem. Then, answer the question(s). From "Broken Windows" An old willow with hollow branches Slowly swayed his few high bright tendrils And sang: "Love is a young green willow (5) Shimmering at the bare wood's edge."

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the poem. Then, answer the question(s). From "Broken Windows" An old willow with hollow branches Slowly swayed his few high bright tendrils And sang: "Love is a young green willow Shimmering at the bare wood's edge." Which theme does this poem best support? A. Those who are old know nothing of love. B. Love must be nurtured in order to grow. C. Love is best experienced by the young. D. Those who are immature do not appreciate love.

B. Love must be nurtured in order to grow.

Explanation:

The old willow is rambling on love, when he says that love is like a young willow, we can interpret that he is saying that love, like the young willow must be fed, nourished and cultivated in order to grow. This is because a young willow will never grow and last without elements that strengthen it, that feed it and without it it will die still young, without showing all its beauty and grandeur.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
