 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -

 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.
