Read the excerpt from “the lady of shalott” by alfred, lord tennyson. in which lines does the poet reveal the monotony of the lady’s existence?
the answers are in parentheses.

[no time hath she to sport and play: ]
a charmed web she weaves alway.
a curse is on her, if she stay
her weaving, either night or day,
to look down to camelot.
[she knows not what the curse may be; ]
therefore [she weaveth steadily,]
[therefore no other care hath she,]
the lady of shalott.

[she lives with little joy or fear.]
over the water, running near,
[the sheep bell tinkles in her ear.]
before her hangs a mirror clear,
reflecting tower'd camelot.
and as the mazy web she whirls,
she sees the surly village churls,
and the red cloaks of market girls
pass onward from shalott.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of liveliness and joy danger and gloom silence and peace anger and hostility
