Answer:
It provides a hopeful image that suggests that Kahlo was not restrained by her condition.
Explanation:
From the attached image, we can understand that Kahlo was injured and broke her spine in several places and despite several surgeries, she would live with pain for the rest of her life and would require a corset to hold her spine in place.
The excerpt from the poem says,
<em>"who painted herself a present</em>
<em>wildflowers entwining the plastic corset</em>
<em>her spine resides in, that flaming pillar"</em>
We can see that the imagery depicts a hopeful image that Kahlo is not restrained or held back by her condition because she "painted herself a present" and the line about wildflowers shows that while the situation is an unplanned one, she still has hope as she describes her spine as a "flaming pillar".
A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild that was not planted by anyone and it symbolizes the forced condition of wearing the corset
Answer:
D. A remembered landscape
Explanation:
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is one of the greatest romantic poets of the romantic age. He wrote "Tintern Abbey" in 1798 a few miles above the abbey as the full title of the poem <em>"</em><em>Lines Written (or Composed) a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, on Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour, July 13, 1798".</em> Wordsworth had previously visited Tintern Abbey in 1793 as a troubled and directionless young man of 23.
In these lines he mentions those five years as a long absence from these beauteous form (abbey landscape). He was not seeing that landscape when writing the poem but contemplating the scenery seen five years ago. According to Wordsworth poetic theory, the poetry is best when its is written by observation, contemplation, and emotions recollected through tranquility.
Wordsworth ideally wants to write about natural scenery long after he has seen and observed it. According to him, this practice removes all the minor and less important things from memory, and only the best of the observations find an expression in the form of words.
