Answer: The lines from "Mutability" that reflect the idea that life is fleeting are "We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;

How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver"

Explanation:

In these lines, the writer makes a comparison between people and clouds. Shelley uses this metaphor to refer to the human life as something brief and fleeting. Life comes and goes in just one moment. The same happens to the clouds, they appear at night out of the sudden, they veil the moon and they "speed, gleam and quiver" restlessly. Clouds are fleeting just like human life.

Reread the description of Oliver's home
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Woolf's word choices that suggests that Oliver is preoccupied with how others see him is "looked down"

Below is an excerpt:

<em>"...And from the middle window he </em><em>looked down </em><em>upon the glossy roofs of fashionable cars packed in the narrow straits of Piccadilly."</em>

This suggests that he had a sense of how others see him. The same word choices that revealed that he is preoccupied with how others see him is also seen in line 16 of "The Duchess And The Jeweller":

<em> "...and he would </em><em>look down</em><em> at his legs, so shapely in their perfect trousers; at his boots; at his spats.  They were all shapely, shining;..."</em>

Explanation:

The question is culled from "The Duchess And The Jeweller" written by Virginia Woolf.

The short story is centered on a jeweller known as Oliver Bacon who is the only developed character. The story has a reflection of the English society as seen during Woolf's time.  The jeweller, Oliver is seen as an ambitious and arrogant man. He became one of the high-ups in the society and lived at Piccadilly, the most expensive place in London.

Adeline Virginia Woolf is the author of "The Duchess And The Jeweller". She is an English writer who is considered to have pioneered and led the use of stream of consciousness as a narrative device.
