I am not 100% sure, although I feel the best answer to this question is A. The poet is saying that people don't live long; life is short.
This is because he talks about someone remaining, or living on. You can infer from this that the poet believes that life feels short and brief. The poet doesn't mention beauty in this line, nor foes he express changes in his generation. However, D is still a possible answer, but he doesn't focus as much on himself and his unwant to grow old. I hope that this can help you out! :D
I would...be the goddess of pain and suffering. Although that sounds negative, I could actually clear up a lot of junk in the world when you think about it. If I eliminated the pain of those that don't deserve it, or fix a certain life problem for someone, or a whole group of people, I could fix so much in the world. (That's just one idea, lol I can send you other ones or add more detail to this one if you'd want)
B would make the prose more difficult to read and thus interrupt the natural rhythm
Answer:
try talking about how it made the character feel, and how it changed his/her life badly. maybe they are trying to over come it but keep having flashbacks, and bad memories, but doesn't tell anyone. in the ending, maybe your character can tell someone and get the help they need, before they do something bad to them-selves.
