which stanza s best Expresses the message of the poem? the poem is " the wife mourns her husband".
Answer (1)
In the poem "A Wife Mourns for Her Husband" by Confucius, the stanza that best expresses the core message of grief, longing, and unwavering love is:"While the long days of summer pass over my head,And long winter nights leave their traces,I’m alone! Till a hundred of years shall have fled,And then I shall meet his embraces."This stanza captures the endless passage of time and the enduring sorrow of the wife. It emphasizes her loneliness through both seasons (“long days of summer” and “long winter nights”) and her hopeful belief that only after "a hundred years" will she reunite with her husband. This blend of melancholy and steadfast devotion poignantly conveys the poem’s central themes.
