Read the excerpt from "Rhapsody on a Windy Night." The lamp hummed: "Regard the moon, La lune ne garde aucune rancune, She winks a feeble eye, She smiles into corners. She smoothes the hair of the grass. The moon has lost her memory. The French line “ La lune ne garde aucune rancune ” translates to “The moon never holds a grudge.” Which best describes the meaning of this line?
Answer
A
The narrator has met people he wants to remember.
B
Each night is new; previous events do not matter.
C
Each night is the same, repeating events.
D
The narrator has met people he wants to forget.
Explanation
“The moon never holds a grudge” suggests that the moon does not carry past troubles or resentments with it. Paired with the line that the moon has lost her memory, it implies that each night begins afresh and earlier events no longer matter. So the best choice is “Each night is new; previous events do not matter.”
