What comment does the author make about the subject through the analogy in these lines?
Seest thou shadows sailing by,
As the dove, with startled eye,
Sees the falcon’s shadow fly?
(from "Maidenhood" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
The danger the dove faces worries her.
Unseen fears or threats trouble her.
The shadow of a falcon frightens her.
Birds and shadows easily startle her.
