From "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore: While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart's core.

What do the "roadway" and "pavements gray" in "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" represent?

a. the grief the speaker feels when he is not with his family

b. the joy the speaker feels that he can visit Innisfree in his heart

c. the dreariness of the speaker's life away from Innisfree

d. the carefree and peaceful life that Innisfree offers him

    c. the dreariness of the speaker's life away from Innisfree

    Explanation:

    The speaker probably has a very emotional and fondness for Innisfree. He is far from this place that he loves and cares so he feels sad and melancholy for the distance between him and the place. The words "roadway" and "pavements gray" in the paragraph above are the words that make this sadness clearer, as it is when the speaker is passing on the "roadway" and "pavements gray" he feels the melancholy feeling in his heart most.

    For this reason, we can conclude that the correct answer to your question is the letter C.
