Answer:

As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".

Explanation:

This question is tricky because <u>the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies</u>: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.

The poem by John Meyers O'Hara is used as an epigraph (short quotation) at the beginning of "The Call of the Wild", a novel by Jack London.

ivanzaharov [21]
Coronavirus has both brought families together and apart. Some have become more close as they spend time together. Others are separated in many places all around the world. Either way it has been hard on all people living without loved ones. That is why it is very important to spend some time talking to the family members around you. We might be tired of them now but soon when everyone goes back to school and work we will miss all the time spent with family we used to have.
