Which of these excerpts from poems by Emily Dickinson uses irony? A. My cocoon tightens, colors tease, I'm feeling for the air; A dim capacity for wings Degrades the dress I wear. B. Could she have guessed that it would be; Could but a crier of the glee Have climbed the distant hill; Had not the bliss so slow a pace, - Who knows but this surrendered face Were undefeated still? C. One dignity delays for all, One mitred afternoon. None can avoid this purple, None evade this crown. D. There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes. Heavenly hurt it gives us; We can find no scar, But internal difference Where the meanings are. E. Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, - Past the houses, past the headlands, Into deep eternity!
