Read the excerpt from "Parsley” by Rita Dove.

There is a parrot imitating spring
in the palace, its feathers parsley green.
Out of the swamp the cane appears

to haunt us, and we cut it down. El General
searches for a word; he is all the world
there is. Like a parrot imitating spring

What does the palace symbolize in this excerpt?

wealth and power
isolation and fear
comfort and security
privacy and seclusion
