Question

The Lake Isle of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet's wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart's core. Which three characteristics does the poem share with the romantic movement?

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) The idealization of the rural landscape.

b.) Admiration for the beauty of nature.

e.) Focus on an individual's inner concerns.

Explanation:

The Romanic movement or Romanticism refers to the literary or artistic movement that focuses on the emotions and feelings of the individual. Originating in Europe, this movement celebrates the individual and emphasizes more on the personal and humane side of exploring literature and art.

In the given excerpt from WB Yeats' poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree", the poet uses romantic themes of the rural landscape, the beauty of nature, and focuses on the individual’s inner concerns. By alluding to the "small cabin", "a hive for the honey-bee", the singing of the crickets, the description of the midnight and noon, evening and night and day, all are elements of the romantic notion.

Thus, the correct answer is options a, b, and e.
