write my assignment 8961

Which pair of lines from T. S. Elliot’s “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” is an example of onomatopoeia?

Twelve o’clock.

A – [Along the reaches of the street

Held in a lunar synthesis,

Whispering lunar incantations]

Dissolve the floors of memory

And all its clear relations,

Its divisions and precisions,

B- [Every street lamp that I pass

Beats like a fatalistic drum,]

And through the spaces of the dark

Midnight shakes the memory

As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

Half-past one,

C – [The street lamp sputtered,

The street lamp muttered,]

The street lamp said,

“Regard that woman

D – [Who hesitates toward you in the light of the door

Which opens on her like a grin.]

You see the border of her dress

Is torn and stained with sand,

E – [And you see the corner of her eye

Twists like a crooked pin.”]
