"That's my last Duchess painted on the wall, / Looking as if she were alive." The speaker is best placed as:

"Because I could not stop for Death - / He kindly stopped for me - / The Carriage held but just Ourselves - / And Immortality." Who is speaking?

"Busy old fool, unruly Sun, / Why dost thou thus, / Through windows, and through curtains call on us?" The speaker is positioned as:

"Half a league, half a league, / Half a league onward, / All in the valley of Death / Rode the six hundred." The speaker stands outside the action as:

"O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, / The ship has weather'd every rack." The speaking voice is:

"I met a traveller from an antique land / Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone / Stand in the desert." The poem's opening makes the speaker:

"I heard a Fly buzz - when I died - / The Stillness in the Room / Was like the Stillness in the Air - / Between the Heaves of Storm -." What situation is implied?

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, / The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea." What scene do the lines set?

"The sea is calm tonight. / The tide is full, the moon lies fair / Upon the straits." The opening situation is:

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, / Over many a quaint and curious volume." The situation is:

"I wandered lonely as a cloud / That floats on high o'er vales and hills, / When all at once I saw a crowd, / A host, of golden daffodils." What has just happened?

"Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, / Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun." The dramatic situation is chiefly:

A sonnet says, "When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, / I all alone beweep my outcast state," then "Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, / Haply I think on thee." The turn moves from:

"I am poor brother Lippo, by your leave! / You need not clap your torches to my face." What can be inferred about the situation?

"But at my back I always hear / Time's wingèd chariot hurrying near; / And yonder all before us lie / Deserts of vast eternity." What shift does "But" introduce?

"Turning and turning in the widening gyre / The falcon cannot hear the falconer; / Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold." The shift after the semicolon does what?

In Tennyson's "The Golden Year," a singer asks, "Ah, when shall all men's good / Be each man's rule, and universal Peace / Lie like a shaft of light across the land?" The question voices:

"Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold... / Then felt I like some watcher of the skies / When a new planet swims into his ken." The turn from reading to simile emphasizes:

"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun... / And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare / As any she belied with false compare." The couplet turns by:

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" followed by "Nothing beside remains" creates what attitude?

"The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; / He watches from his mountain walls." The diction gives the eagle an attitude of:

"Do not go gentle into that good night. / Rage, rage against the dying of the light." The speaker's attitude is best described as:

"Water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to drink." The speaker's attitude toward the scene is:

"If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?" The rhetorical question creates an attitude of:

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." What attitude does the image convey?

A poem ends, "And miles to go before I sleep, / And miles to go before I sleep." What does the repetition do?

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." The ending chiefly:

"I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference." As an ending, the claim:

"Till human voices wake us, and we drown." How does this final line alter the mermaid fantasy before it?

"And Death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die." The ending's paradox does what?
