Question

Bruno’s teacher challenged his class to create their own line of poetry to add after the final stanza of "Mutability”: It is the same!—For, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free: Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability. Which of Bruno’s lines best extends the message expressed in the final stanza? We die.—And in death, at last, achieve everlasting peace. We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain. We endure.—Man’s soul is like the bedrock, eternal and unchanged. We thrive.—Realizing that life provides the fertile soil for us to blossom in.

Answer 2

The answer is:

We live.—Knowing that today’s sun may give way to tomorrow’s rain.

The poem "Mutability ," by Percy Bysshe Shelley deals with universal truths of life and how people are in a permanent state of emotional change. In that respect, Bruno's line expands the idea that life is a constant transformation: the great happiness of the present may turn to misery in the future.
