The answer is that the author used the word willow to portray two different meanings by using the techniques of metaphor and personification.
- ''An old <u>willow</u> with hollow branches slowly swayed his few high tendrils and sang(...) >> Here the author used the technique of personification in order to explain that the branches performed the human action of dancing.
- ''Love is a young green <u>willow</u> (...)'' >> Here the author used the technique of metaphor to compare love to a green willow (Willows are associated with spirituality and the ability to bend without snapping, a methaphor that is commonly used in Celtic culture to teach that we must adjust to the situation/feeling instead of fighting against it)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born on February 27, 1807 and died on March 24, 1882. He was an American poet and educator whose works include "Paul Revere's Ride", The Song of Hiawatha, and Evangeline. He was also the first American to translate Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy and was one of the four Fireside Poets from New England.
“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes a coastal scene. The tide rises, and the tide falls. Its twilight, a bird is calling, and a traveller is leaving the shore, heading for a near town. Now it's dark, the sea is shouting, and the waves erase the traveller's footprints from the shore. Despite this disconsolate perspective, the dawn does come again. There are signs of life everywhere. Horses are ready and raising to go; a hostler is calling out. Sure, the traveller will never return to the shore because he's dead, but the tide rises again, and then… well, the tide falls.
The statement that best describes the purpose of the word “nevermore” is:
C) The word helps create a more dramatic, resolute tone.
Because she's got mad fighting/gun skills, and is quick, like a Black Widow. :)
