[Evangeline by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]@TWC D-Link bookEvangeline PART II 13/22
Why Golden Coast? What is a maze? What did the moss look like? What is demoniac laughter? What purpose does the author serve in bringing in this incident? Describe scene in lines 763-767.
How did the exiles feel this night? What about the mimosa? What are the hoof-beats of fate? What effect have the hoof-beats? Was Evangeline in the same mood as the others? Read to line 863, and then consider carefully the scene and events to line 790.
Study with care. _Night on the River.
The Passing._ Lesson XVII, Lines 790-841. Explain lines 790-794 and lines 798-799.
Why do you suppose the bugle was not heard? What if it was? Why did they row at midnight? Why does the author bring in something weird again as in line 805? Note change from night with its weird uncertainty to day with its quiet peace and beauty.
