Question

The speaker of an Ogden Nash poem justifies avoiding one of these places by saying their life is like a “brief…spell of summer weather.” The speaker admires the company of songbirds like a “Bobolink” and “Orchard” in an Emily Dickinson poem titled for one of these places. In a poem, a woman who decided against going to one of these places is content with "wakened birds / Before they fly,” and hears a voice that speaks (15[1])of “that tomb in (15[1])(*) Palestine.” A woman asks herself why she should “give (10[2])her bounty to her (10[1])dead” (10[1])to justify why she isn’t going (10[1])to one of these places. Because she isn’t at one of these places, a woman in a poem finds the time to contemplate the “complacencies of the peignoir.” For 10 points, (10[2])a (10[1])skeptical (10[1])woman (10[6])in a Wallace Stevens poem has decided against going to what place on the (10[1])title (10[1])“Sunday Morning”? ■END■
