(1)The sky was like a waterdrop In shadow of a thorn,
Clear, tranquil, beautiful,
Dark, forlorn.

(5)Lightning along its margin ran;
A rumour of the sea
Rose in profundity and sank
Into infinity.

Lofty and few the elms, the stars
(10)In the vast boughs most bright;
I stood a dreamer in a dream
In the unstirring night.

Why is "dark, forlorn" (line 4) separated on a line by itself?

to emphasize the contrast between the characteristics of the waterdrop and the thorn
to enhance the meter of the poem
to create a stanza that has only four lines
to help with the visual aspect of the poem
to give a break in thought

(1) fire extended humans’ geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. (2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)
