Read the excerpt from "Rhapsody on a Windy Night."Twelve o'clock.Along the reaches of the streetHeld in a lunar synthesis,Whispering lunar incantationsDissolve the floors of memoryAnd all its clear relations,Its divisions and precisions,Every street lamp that I passBeats like a fatalistic drum,And through the spaces of the darkMidnight shakes the memoryAs a madman shakes a dead geranium.Which phrase from the excerpt best indicates that the narrator is lost in thought?



Answer :

The narrator's statement that "Whispering lunar incantations/ Dissolve the floors of memory/ and all its clear relations,/ Its divisions and precisions" indicates that he is lost in thought

T.S. Eliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" is a free verse poem that is not constrained by a particular rhyme or rhythmic scheme. It was first published in 1917 in Prufrock and Other Observations. Both the stanzas and the lines are different lengths.

We can infer from some crucial words that the narrator is lost in thought when he says that "Whispering lunar incantations/ Dissolve the floors of memory/ and all its definite relations,/ Its divisions and precisions." The incantations disintegrate the divisions and precisions that make up his memory's floor, indicating that they have vanished and are no longer there. But as he goes on, the simple word "Midnight rattles the memories" makes it clearer than ever that the narrator is lost in his thoughts.
