Read the poem that celebrates mountain climbing.
To the Mountains
Let there be light, the sky
Declares. And the sun answers.
Yellow ribbons cascade across
A serrated skyline, filling each valley
Until it bursts.
Alpine mornings wake in defiance
Of gravity. The rock opens its hands,
Draws men up, through the light.
Distant summits, where the earth
Meets the heavens.
The earth shifts through each ribbon,
Like water, an ocean of rock
Braced against, all that space.
Where men drift, a sea above and below,
And reach.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?
'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'
see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover
and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.
see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.
'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!
and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,
to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
