Question: Read the lines from "Journey."

The world is mine: blue hill, still silver lake, Broad field, bright flower, and the long white road.
A gateless garden, and an open path:
My feet to follow, and my heart to hold.

How do the phrases gateless garden and open path help express the meaning in these lines?

- They show that the speaker has lost her way in life
- They show that the speaker feels trapped in her life.
- They show that the speaker makes risky choices in life.
- They show that the speaker is free to choose her direction in life.

They show that the speaker is free to choose her direction in life.

A gateless garden is free, and an open path is free to all who choose.
