1 所有答案

  • 杨静怡 12-15

    In A Psalm of Life, Longfellow uses three key metaphors:

    1. Life as an "empty dream" (line 2): Rejects the pessimistic view of life’s meaninglessness, laying the ground for the poem’s positive tone.

    2. Life as a "bivouac" (line 16): Compares life to a soldier’s temporary camp on a battlefield, emphasizing life’s arduous, active nature.

    3. Life’s achievements as "footprints on the sands of time" (lines 28–29): Turns intangible legacies into visible traces, showing noble lives can inspire future generations
