Read the following excerpt from sonnet xliii, "what lips my lips have kissed,
and where, and why" by edna st. vincent millay:
what lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
i have forgotten, and what arms have lain
under my head till morning, but the rain
is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
upon the glass and listen for reply,
and in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
for unremembered lads that not again
will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
which statement best explains how the poet's use of figurative language in
this excerpt conveys the tone?
