<u> The answer is self-deprecating.</u>

One of the definitions of a self-deprecating person is someone who is conscious of his or her weaknesses, difficulties and flaws and is open about it, or at least, isn't afraid to point them out, which they normally do in a humorous way.

In the passage, the speaker recognizes and expresses his shortcomings (to be susceptible to seizure activity, for example) in a humorous tone.

Read the passage.
jonny [76]
“Remembrance” is actually a poem that was written by Emily Brontë. And based on the passage above taken from this poem, how the phrases “divinest anguish” and <span>“rapturous pain” pointed out the complexity of the feelings of the speaker here is that the phrases are contradictions. Notice that rapturous means expressing great pleasure, and this is a contradiction of pain. Hope this helps.</span>
