Read this line from "the Song of Wandering Aengus" by William Butler Yeats.

Because a fire was in my head,

What does "a fire was in my head" mean?


It shows Aengus's intense desire to go fishing.


He hears the sound of flames and yearns to flee.


Aengus's head feels flushed from anger.


It's an image Aengus has of his head being on fire.
