“they made her a grave, too cold and damp
for a soul so warm and true;
and she’s gone to the lake of the dismal swamp,
where, all night long, by a fire-fly lamp,
she paddles her white canoe.
“and her fire-fly lamp i soon shall see,
and her paddle i soon shall hear;
long and loving our life shall be,
and i’ll hide the maid in a cypress tree,
when the footstep of death is near.”
who is the speaker in this section of the poem?
the maiden paddling the canoe
the lover searching for his lost bride
an unknown observer of the incident
the hired paddler of the canoe

The lover searching for his lost bride

Explanation:

The poem shows a man looking for the woman he loves. In the poem the speaker says that his beloved died and sailed to the Lake of the Desolating Marsh. For this reason, this man wants to look for his beloved near this lake, where he hopes to hear the sound of the paddle she is wearing and to be with her again.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
