W.B. Yeats. From which two aspects of modern lIfe does the of speaker likely wish to free
Read this excerpt fron The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by
himself?
will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the vells of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
hear it in the deep heart's core.

Answer:

The two aspects of modern life which the speaker likely wishes to free himself from are:

B. materialism

D. turmoil

Step-by-step explanation:

In this beautiful poem by author W. B. Yeats, the speaker wishes to get away from the city and go build a cabin by a lake. He makes it clear that he wants peace, and that peace comes "dropping slow". In the silence of the forest, where the only noises are natural (the bees buzzing, the crickets singing), the speaker will live with tranquility and freedom. He does not wish for more than this. He does not need a mansion, or money. A simple cabin will suffice. Some beans and some honey will sustain him. Therefore, we can say that he wishes to free himself from materialism and turmoil.

Note: materialism refers to considering material possessions to be more important than spiritual and intellectual accomplishments. Turmoil means confusion, disturbance.
