by day she wooes me, soft, exceeding fair;
but all night as the moon so changeth she;
loathsome and foul with hideous leprosy
and subtle serpents gliding in her hair.
by day she wooes me to the outer air,
ripe fruits, sweet flowers, and full satiety:
but thro' the night, a beast she grins at me,
a very monster void of love and prayer,
by day she stands a lie:

which statement best describes the theme?
love escapes us because of the change from day to night.
nighttime is monstrous, but it is better than daytime.
beauty can be alluring, but it is also dangerous
daytime hides the danger and intrigue of night.

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.

Laugh and be merry, remember, better the world with a song,    better the world with a blow in the teeth of a wrong.    laugh, for the time is brief, a thread the length of a span.    laugh and be proud to belong to the old proud pageant of man. (laugh and be merry/john masefield/public domain) which of these is the main idea of the poem?
