Read this stanza from “The Song of Wandering Aengus” by William Butler Yeats.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
How do these lines reveal details about the speaker of the poem?
They confirm his stable state of mind.
They suggest his despair over being alone in the world.
They show that he is frightened by the natural world.
They show that he longs to connect with someone.
