Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

turning harsh things to beauty,
so that little wry souls
reflecting each other obliquely
as in cracked mirrors ...
beheld in your luminous spirit
their own reflection,
transfigured as in a shining stream,

You are less an image in my mind
than a luster
I see you in gleams
pale as star-light on a gray wall ...
evanescent as the reflection of a white swan
shimmering in broken water.
