Question

Which excerpt from "man listening to disc" best supports the idea that when the speaker listens to music he is the center of his own world? my delight at being suffused with phrases from his saxophone— some like honey, some like vinegar— is surpassed only by my gratitude to the woman in the white sweater, the man in the tan raincoat and the heavy glasses, who mistake themselves for the center of the universe— all i can say is watch your step because the five of us, instruments and all, are about to angle over to the south side of the street?

Explanation:

This excerpt, which belongs to the poem "Man Listening to Disc" and that was written by author Billy Collins in 1941, portrays the feelings and thoughts of a speaker who is walking down a street, with his ears plugged with music, and who, because of the way the music plays only for him, and motivates only him, and not those around him, feels like he is the center of the universe. This last excerpt from the poem shows the exact moment when the speaker clarifies that particular point, of being the center of the universe, as he literally summarizes that he, and he alone, is owner of the music being played, which isolates him from the others, even places him above the others, and the rest have to give way to him.
