Question

Highlight the text that creates suspense.

But on the morning after, when firstlight

had banished night's bright star-fires from the sky

and sun had left the brine-soaked meadows dry,

again they took their places at the cleft.

Then, in low whispers – after their laments –

those two devised this plan.

—"Pyramus and Thisbe,"
Ovid
