Bananas ripe and green, and ginger rootCocoa in pods and alligator pears,And tangerines and mangoes and grape fruit,Fit for the highest prize at parish fairs,Sat in the window, bringing memoriesof fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills,And dewy dawns, and mystical skiesIn benediction over nun-like hills.My eyes grow dim, and I could no more gaze;A wave of longing through my body swept,And, hungry for the old, familiar waysI turned aside and bowed my head and wept.Claude McKay uses metaphors to convey a sense of sadness and nostalgia in “The Tropics of New York.” What metaphor does he use in the poem?The Tropics it is HUNGER
