Read the excerpt from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. TO ONE IN PARADISE Thou wast all that to me, love, For which my soul did pine-

A green isle in the sea, love, A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers, And all the flowers were mine. Which best explains the metaphor in this poem? The speaker worships the subject of the poem. The subject of the poem is actually a place. The speaker is infatuated with a statue. The speaker's love was unrequited.

The correct answer is A.

The metaphors used in this excerpt from Poe's "To One in Paradise," shows the love and devotion the speaker felt for his late lover.

To him, she was the one that consumed his soul, a saviour island in the middle of the sea. He even calls her a <em>shrine, </em>which evokes thoughs of "worship" and "devotion."
