Question

Answer 1

Caesura is a pause or break within a line of poetry, often marked by punctuation. In the lines you provided, the line containing caesura is:

“I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer”

The pause occurs after "deceived," creating a moment of reflection before continuing the thought.
