Answer: “Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars.”
Explanation:
The narrator of a poem is known as the speaker.
Answer:
C. Visual imagery
Explanation:
This piece is about a person Lucy (whom the speaker admires a whole lot). The speaker captured the rarity & beauty of Lucy's life which was unfortunately missed by people. The speaker would describe Lucy using imagery. He likened her to:
I. the flower Violet (which is not common) in the first line to project her beauty
II. a fair star to further describe her beauty & allure in the third line
<u>In doing this, the speaker used imagery which the eyes can see </u>e.g. flower (Violet), star, sky.
Kinesthetic imagery is used to describe moving objects, gustatory imagery describes what is tasted, tactile imagery describes what can be touched or felt; all these three are NOT the correct answer
<u>Hence, the author used visual imagery. That means option C is the correct answer</u>
