Read the excerpt below from the poem “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke and answer the question that follows.

She played it quick, she played it light and loose;
My eyes, they dazzled at her flowing knees;
Her several parts could keep a pure repose,
Or one hip quiver with a mobile nose
(She moved in circles, and those circles moved).
