Final answer:
The speaker in the provided passages expresses a sense of life's bitterness, making option b the most accurate response.
Step-by-step explanation:
In regards to the question about what the speaker experiences, it appears that the speaker experiences life's bitterness, as illustrated by lines such as 'I have measured out my life with coffee spoons' and 'Logic and sermons never convince, The damp of the night drives deeper into my soul.' These excerpts communicate a sense of monotony and disillusionment with life, which aligns with option b: Experience life's bitterness. Moreover, the speaker does mention walking at night in phrases like 'In my walks home late at night', but there is no clear indication that the speaker specifically likes to walk in the rain, which makes option d less likely. There is also no direct reference to working late nights or experiencing love in all the wrong places from the passages provided. Therefore, based on the given information, the most accurate answer would be b: Experience life's bitterness.
