Answer:

In the stanzas containing the famous phrase 'of mice and men' Robert Burns, the poet, compares a rat's ability to live in the present to the human's inability.

Explanation:

Robert Burns is one of the defining figures of Romantic thought. <u>this poem compares the state of bliss that animals live in to the unnatural life a human leads</u> due to their excessive thinking and the woes of modern life.

this is evident in the last 2 stanzas of the poem 'to a mouse' when Burns first calls the mouse 'no thy-lane<u>'</u> and then <u>calls it more fortunate because it can blissfully live in the present</u> while<u> a human is doomed to worry about the future and keep thinking about the past.</u>

To Autumn
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The inference that can be drawn from "To Autumn" is:

A. Autumn is a peaceful and abundant season, full of natural beauty.

The evidence that supports the answer in Part A is:

A. "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness . . . Conspiring . . . how to lead and bless With fruit the vines . . . And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core."

Explanation:

John Keats was an English Romantic poet, born in 1795, dead in 1821 at the age of only 25. In his poem "To Autumn", Keats describes the season with vivid imagery, praising its abundance. Especially in the first stanza, Keats describes in detail how fruitful autumn is - how fruits and flowers are abundant. They grow ripe, succulent and sweet, thanks to blessed autumn. Keats does not describe autumn as being inferior to spring. Quite the contrary, he says both seasons have their songs. He also describes the transition from autumn to winter beautifully, peacefully. There is no sadness in his description, but the very opposite, with images of noisy animals, rivers, and winds.
