This excerpt is from the poem, 'Sailing to Byzantium' by William Butler Yeats
Explanation:
- The line "aged man is but a paltry thing, / a tattered coat upon a stick refers to an old man's soul.
- The poet says the country he had left was a country of youth and so he has moved to the holy city of Byzantium. He calls the saints as masters and asks them to be his soul's singing masters.
- He says his heart is a stick with desire and it is attached to a dying animal. Yeats speaks about the agony of old age.
"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) <span>an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry:
</span>"Slowly I would get to pen and paper,
Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.
In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values."
She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice.
"We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake."
Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.

A mnemonic device (also called a memory device) is any technique that helps us memorize or remember information. An example of a mnemonic people often use is the knuckle mnemonic for the number of days in each month, where each knuckle represents a 31-day month.
This is why the first option is the correct one.
