The poem Rose Pogonias is the poem.
Which is the best paraphrase of lines 5-9?
A. we stretched out in the heat of the flowers in this windless hot air place filled with strong odors.
B. There was plenty of wind and the sickening stench of flowers while we bowed down in the heat.
C. hot wind filled this flower bed where we burned as we bent over and smelled good smells.
D. it was not windy there but there was a strong pleasant odor of flowers and we bent down in the hot Sun.

Anyway, post those two lines and I'll see what I can do.
Anyway, post those two lines and I'll see what I can do.
1. a saturated meadow,
2.Sun-shaped and jewel-small,
3.A circle scarcely wider
4. Than the trees around were tall;
5.Where winds were quite excluded,
6. And the air was stifling sweet
7. With the breath of many flowers, --
8.A temple of the heat.
9. There we bowed us in the burning,
10. as the suns right worship is,
11. to pick where none could miss them
12. a thousand orchises
13. for though the grass was scattered
14. yet every second spear
15. seemed to tip the wings of color
16. that tinged the atmosphere.
Again thank you a lot!!!

And I just need a paraphrase for lines 5-9, Writeacher.
Where winds were quite excluded,
And the air was stifling sweet
With the breath of many flowers, --
A temple of the heat.
There we bowed us in the burning,
The focus of these lines seems to be about the heat in that tiny, enclosed meadow. [no wind ("excluded,") "stifling," "heat," "burning"]
Since the wind was "excluded," B and C are out.
So read A and D carefully and make sure ALL ideas in those lines match the one you decide on.

Oh and I think it is D because A is saying the flowers have heat and that doesn't make much sense.
Yes, I think D is the best paraphrase.
Thank you and remember you are a great teacher! ^-^ :)
