"the fountain"
by james russell lowell

1 into the sunshine,
full of the light,
leaping and flashing,
from morn till night!

2 into the moonlight,
whiter than snow,
waving so flower-like
when the winds blow!

3 into the starlight,
rushing in spray,
happy at midnight,
happy by day!

4 ever in motion,
blithesome and cheery,
still climbing heavenward,
never aweary;

5 glad of all weathers,
still seeming best,
upward or downward,
motion, thy rest;

6 full of a nature
nothing can tame,
changed every moment,
ever the same;

7 ceaseless aspiring,
ceaseless content,
darkness or sunshine
thy element;

8 glorious fountain!
let my heart be
fresh, changeful, constant,
upward like thee!

which of the following phrases uses personification?

"let my heart be"

"still climbing heavenward"

"changed every moment"

"ever the same"

"nothing can tame"

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
