In the excerpt, the narrator tries to capture the experience that a reader has when he or she encounters with a fascinating and shivering passage. The inchoation, or beginning, (Merriam Webster), represent the start of an enthralling feeling that is preliminary, as it prepares the reader for richer and more important experiences, and could encompass something that is inherent in human life, i.e. universal. A sudden thrill that pulls the strings of the soul and deeply connects with the reader. These experiences are unexpected, and they are the beginning of something much bigger and enriching that may change the reader forever.

In keeping with traditional villanelle structure, the last line of this poem should be:

Kay [80]

Answer:

A. who scorned the tick of the falling weather.

Explanation:

A traditional villanelle is a poetic form that has five tercets and a quatrain that acts as the closing stanza. The tercets are a three-line stanza while a quatrain is a four-line stanza. Moreover, it follows a pattern where the first and last line of the first tercet acts as the third line in the following tercets, alternating between the two.

Simply put, the first line of the first stanza will become the third line in the second and fourth stanza. Similarly, the third line of the first stanza will become the third line of the third and fifth stanzas. and these two lines will become the closing lines of the quatrain.

So, in keeping with the traditional villanelle structure, the last line of the poem "Lament" by Sylvia Plath will be "who scorned the tick of the falling weather."
