Test II- Short answer

Directions: from the poem, The Rhodora, formulate two (2) questions for literary
interpretation. (20 points) items 31-50

On being asked, whence is the flower. Two (2) questions for literary interpretation:

In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,

I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,
Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook, 1. Why do you think the speaker
To please the desert and the sluggish brook. compares the rhodora to a rose?
The purple petals fallen in the pool 2. Does Emerson believe in God? Why
Made the black water with their beauty gay; do you say so?
Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,
And court the flower that cheapens his array.
Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing,
Then beauty is its own excuse for Being;
Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!
I never thought to ask; I never knew;
But in my simple ignorance suppose
The self-same power that brought me there, brought you.

The Rhodora
