Answer:

The speaker shows how in the eighth month of waiting, she is sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs, as this reinforces the idea of loneliness that she feels.

Explanation:

"Changgan Memories" by Li Po is a poem about a young couple who had to split up after two years of marriage. The speaker of the poem is the wife who lives lonely and sad waiting for her husband to return. At every moment, the loneliness she feels becomes more intense, reaching the point that everything she looks at reminds her husband is far away.

After waiting for her husband for eight months, she feels sad to see the butterflies flying in pairs through the garden. The butterflies seem happy with each other's company, it makes her feel more sad and lonely. This can be seen by the lines:<em> "And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies/ Hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses/ And, because of all this, my heart is breaking."</em>
