Read the poem “The Garret,” by Ezra Pound.COME let us pity those who are better off than we are.Come, my friend, and remember that the rich have butlers and no friends,And we have friends and no butlers.Come let us pity the married and the unmarried. Dawn enters with little feet like a gilded Pavlova,And I am near my desire.Nor has life in it aught betterThan this hour of clear coolness, the hour of waking together.Which is a modernist technique used in the poem?
Answer
A
clear and direct language
B
consistent stanza structure
C
traditional rhyme and rhythm
D
predictable line lengths
Explanation
The poem uses plain, direct statements, such as “the rich have butlers and no friends” and “we have friends and no butlers.” This straightforward language is a modernist technique. The poem does not use predictable line lengths or a consistent traditional rhyme and rhythm, so those choices do not fit.
