Question

Which line from “The Wanderer” best supports the inference that there is consolation for earthly suffering?

Answer 1

Answer:

It’s good to guard your faith, nor let your grief come forth

Until it cannot call for help, nor help but heed

The path you’ve placed before it. It’s good to find your grace

In God, the heavenly rock where rests our every hope.
