Read the excerpt from the poem "The Arrow and the Song" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Then, answer the question that follows
I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew the sight Could not follow it in its flight
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where, For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend
Which of the following statements best explains the poet's use of figurative language?
