Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe My father, a wis

e and grave man, gave me serious and excellent counsel against what he foresaw was my design. He called me one morning into his chamber, where he was confined by the gout, and expostulated very warmly with me upon this subject. He asked me what reasons, more than a mere wandering inclination, I had for leaving father's house and my native country, where I might be well introduced, and had a prospect of raising my fortune by application and industry, with a life of ease and pleasure. He told me it was men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortunes on the other, who went abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprise, and make themselves famous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road; that these things were all either too far above me or too far below me; that mine was the middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found, by long experience, was the best state in the world, the most suited to human happiness, not exposed to the miseries and hardships, the labour and sufferings of the mechanic part of mankind, and not embarrassed with the pride, luxury, ambition, and envy of the upper part of mankind. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? Even in that time, there was a lower, middle, and upper class of society. Unlike today, people in that time were all of the same class in society. There were no middle class citizens in that time; only very rich and very poor. Ideas of class separation did not become common until after that period in time.

Which line from the poem describes how the speaker feels about summer?
Annette [7]

Answer:

A void and silent space between two worlds.

Explanation:

Amy Lowell's poem "Summer" tells the poet's findings of beauty in all the seasons. The 42 lined poem details the beauty of nature, the various seasons that we get to experience and especially her appreciation of the summer season.

While the poet talks of the seasons and man's findings of inspiration frm nature, she also includes that she opines that summer is "<em>The very crown of nature's changing year</em>". She thinks that summer is the best of all seasons, "<em>a time of pause"</em>. Her feelings about summer can be best seen in the 31st line of the poem "<em>A void and silent space between two worlds"</em>. In it, she places summer as a 'space' between two worlds where the previous and the upcoming 'seasons' interchange, a common ground for the two worlds to meet.
