Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

You can't get it much worse than this:

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary/It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The wind is an added touch of despair. Winds are noisy and in winter tend to make a cold day even colder.

Answer 2

Answer:

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary/It rains, and the wind is never weary;

Explanation:

Many things show that this implies a gloomy setting.

For Example:

Cold: cold makes you want to hide, or go away (gloomy)

Dark: usually when it's dark we go away or recluse this implies (gloomy)

Dreary: I don't know about you but I picture an old castle covered in cobwebs and cloudy skies, a pretty (gloomy) picture

Rain: rain usually means cloudy skies, again back to the dark, we want to go hide (gloomy)

Wind: wind is usually cold, especially with this picture that I'm creating from these words, cold really implies (gloomy) or dark and just adds a chill to the picture

Weary: weary tells me it's a tired landscape, I see it like old and just tired (gloomy)
