It's certainly sensory. And it's figurative too. I think I'd pick figurative because the central piece of language is a simile. That's pretty good use of language when you compare the bobbing heads of flowers to helmeted soldiers.
Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.
Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.
So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.
Hopefully that all helps!
Question 1 is c. Questions 2 is b. Question 3 is a.
Answer:
A. haunted and wild
Explanation:
In "Kubla Khan", Coleridge starts with the description of Khan's pleasure dome, Xanadu, laying on the sacred river Alph.
Although we might expect a more detailed depiction of this palace and its purpose, the author quickly shifts to the stream of river which quickly becomes wild downstream of the palace.
This is because of the chasm in which the river flows, that is described as:
"A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!"
Such description of the nature (savage, wild and haunted) is in contrast with the descriptions of the romantics, to which Coleridge belonged, which opens many ways to interpret this poem.
