Select the correct text in the passage.

Which phrase from "The Oven Bird" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the modern world?
He says the early petal-fall is past
When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
On sunny days a moment overcast;
And comes that other fall we name the fall.
He says the highway dust is over all.
