"lot's wife"
by anna akhmatova
translated by max hayward and stanley kunitz

and the just man trailed god's shining agent,
over a black mountain, in his giant track,
while a restless voice kept harrying his woman:
"it's not too late, you can still look back

at the red towers of your native sodom,
the square where once you sang, the spinning-shed,
at the empty windows set in the tall house
where sons and daughters blessed your marriage-bed."

a single glance: a sudden dart of pain
stitching her eyes before she made a sound . .
her body flaked into transparent salt,
and her swift legs rooted to the ground.

who will grieve for this woman? does she not seem
too insignificant for our concern?
yet in my heart i never will deny her,
who suffered death because she chose to turn.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
