Read the following excerpt from William Butler Yeats’ “The Song of Wandering Aengus” and answer the question.

I went out to the hazel wood,

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.

Given that the figure of Aengus refers to an ancient Celtic god of love, which of the following lines from the excerpt most likely allude to this figure?

Select all that apply.

A)“And pluck till time and times are done, / The silver apples of the moon, / The golden apples of the sun”
B)“And when white moths were on the wing, / And moth-like stars were flickering out”
C)“And someone called me by my name: / It had become a glimmering girl / With apple blossom in her hair”
D)“Though I am old with wandering / Through hollow lands and hilly lands”
E)“When I had laid it on the floor / I went to blow the fire a-flame”
