Answer:

A. The speaker is saying that he will come quickly to be beside the person he loves.

Explanation:

The speaker starts out describing how days always pass with no emotions, no desires, and no sense, perhaps, referring to how nature act independently from humans' actions or desires, as if it did not care, however, the speaker continues by focusing on the person he loves, he claims that regardless of how days pass or how the sun behaves, he will be faster than the sun and thus, he will come quickly to his beloved one, since he had more "wings and spurs than he".

Why is the narrator angry with Stephen Mackaye and does he have a right to be angry why or why not
kirza4 [7]

<span>Yes. I think the narrator had a right to was angry with Stephen Mackaye. The narrator wanted to stay far of Spot and decided abandon his friend Stephen and Spot, so he ran away. The narrator continued his life, but once was surprised by his abandoned friend. Stephen discovered where the narrator was living and left Spot on his gate, after that, ran away too, exactly how the narrator did. Of course the narrator was mad with, “now”, your “enemy”. Although, what the narrator did was not correct too, abandon his “friend” with the dog.  In the text has a passage that describes the moment that the narrator is angry with Stephen: “</span><span>A year went by. I was back in the office and prospering in all ways--even getting a bit fat. And then Steve arrived. He didn't look me up. I read his name in the steamer list, and wondered why. But I didn't wonder long. I got up one morning and found that Spot chained to the gate-post and holding up the milkman. Steve went north to Seattle, I learned, that very morning. I didn't put on any more weight. My wife made me buy him a collar and tag. And that is why I am disappointed in Stephen Mackaye. I had no idea he was so mean a man.”</span>
