Question

The speaker of this poem notes how a figure “arous’d” the “sweet hell” within him, “the unknown want, the destiny of me,” before he shouts, “O give me the clew!” This poem repeatedly refers to the “yellow half-moon enlarged, sagging down, drooping,” and “lagging.” This poem ends with the speaker learning the “key” word that (15[1])arose from the fusion of the “thousand responsive songs at random” and the “song of my dusky demon and brother.” The earliest draft of this poem was titled “A (*) Child’s Reminiscence.” Part of this poem is rendered in italics to translate a “solitary guest from Alabama” calling (10[3])for (10[1])his mate. The section Sea-Drift (10[2])begins with this poem. (10[2])The sea whispers (-5[1])“the low and delicious word (10[1])death” in this poem set on “Paumanok’s gray beach.” (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, a boy listens to a mockingbird (-5[1])in (10[1])what Walt Whitman poem that (10[1])personifies the sea as an old woman swaying a crib? ■END■ (10[8]0[4])
