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>

The phrase that best characterizes "Variations on a Theme by William Carlos
kotegsom [21]

Answer:  D. Imitative yet fresh

Explanation:

Koch´s poem is a parody, meaning that it purposefully makes fun of something. In this case, the author mocks a serious composition by imitating its style or tone. "Variations on a Theme by William Carlos

Williams," as many other poems by Koch, used satire to express his disagreement with the idea of poetry being solemn and not suitable for humor. By using a similar structure and theme (having done something wrong and providing an excuse for it), Koch mocks "This is Just to Say," by William Carlos Williams. And to make it more clear, Koch makes his character a doctor, just like Williams, who was a poet in his free time after working in the hospital.
