a. love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
(william shakespeare, sonnet 116)

b. she walks in beauty, like the night
of cloudless climes and starry skies;
(lord byron, “she walks in beauty”)

c. nature’s first green is gold,
her hardest hue to hold.
(robert frost, “nothing gold can stay”)

Read the following lines from wordsworth's poem and answer the question. for oft, when on my couch i lie in vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that inward eye which is the best paraphrase of these lines? despite being able to plant my own daffodils, i prefer remembering the ones by the bay. if i feel very sad, i look inside myself for courage to face the day with my eyes open. oftentimes, i become so tired and overwhelmed that i lay down and think of daffodils. when i am feeling empty or concerned, the sight of the daffodils comes to my mind.
