The Author creates a tone of regret in the poem "On Turning Ten." Which Line best demonstrates the tone of regret. Select all that apply. 1) "Disfiguring chicken pox of the soul" ***
2) "The perfect simplicity of being one"
3) "But now I am mostly at the window"
4) "You tell me it is too early to be looking back" ***
I am very sure about four being correct, although I am unsure about my other answer.
The poem if needed:

On Turning Ten (Billy Collins).

The whole Idea of it makes me feel
like I'm coming down with something,
something worse than any stomach ache.
Or the headaches I get from reading in bad light-
a kind of measles to the spirit,
a mumps of the psyche,
a disfiguring chicken pox of the soul.

You tell me it is too early to be looking back,
but that is because you have forgotten
the perfect simplicity of being one
and the beautiful complexity introduced by two.
But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit.
At four I was an Arabian wizard.
I could make myself invisible
by drinking a glass of milk a certain way.
At seven I was a solider, at nine a prince.

But now I am mostly at the window
watching the late afternoon light.
Back then it never fell so solemnly

I'm going to cut the poem off there.
-Thank you for the help.
