The answer presents my thoughts on the second paragraph of Monet's Water Lilies written by Robert Hayden.
<h3>
What is the Poem "Monet's Water Lilies" About?</h3>
It should be noted that the poem is about a narrator who writes to overcome the sadness brought about by the news headlines.
I know this because the narrator starts off by referencing the news from Selma and Saigon...Please see the first line and the last two lines of the first stanza..."<em>I come to see the serene, great picture that I love</em>."
The Poet uses a tone that makes one feel happy despite the bad news...So the narrator is focused on the good rather than on the bad.
The second line of the second stanza - <em>"the eye like the eye of faith believes</em>..." is important because the narrator is focused on positive possibilities regardless of the pain which the poet makes sure to point out in the third verse.

In Donne's sonnet, the phrase "one short sleep past" means: Death, like a nap, isn't permanent. I can assure that option D is correct.
In fact, the lines after that mentioned in the questions are: we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
Which confirms that for the author, the death is not permanent or eternal, on the contray, life is, so we will wake eternal and death would die.
By focusing on the characters instead of the ship's sinking, Walter Lord emphasizes that the people on board were real. He draws the readers into their feelings and relationships. He also shows how they respond to ideas of the time and the events of the sinking. Overall, this paints a very realistic picture of history.
