First of all, this is listed under "Homework Help" BUT you have not done any thinking at all, as far as I can see. It looks like you have merely posted what YOU are to do? We do not do your homework for you.

This happens to be one of my favorite poems from my favorite French poet. How difficult could this be with the entire English translation there? To me, this poem is much more powerful in French.

Imagine the scene at the breakfast table. Imagine that you are either the husband or the wife. How do you feel? What do you do? If you are the husband, here are the important lines, illustrating what you do NOT do:
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder

If you still don't get it, look at the picture of the broken coffee cup.

Since this is posted under French, are you to answer in French? If so, try it here and I'll be glad to check it for you!
