Question

Read the passage.

No later light has lightened up my heaven,
No second morn has ever shone for me:
All my life’s bliss from thy dear life was given—
All my life’s bliss is in the grave with thee.

What does the speaker mean by “No later light has lightened up my heaven” in this excerpt from “Remembrance” by Emily Brontë?

a. The speaker has lost her religious faith.

b. The speaker has lost all appreciation for nature.

c. The speaker has not smiled since her lover’s death.

d. The speaker has not fallen in love since her lover’s death.

Answer 1

The answer is Letter D - The speaker has not fallen in love since her lover’s death.

The passage suggests that she remained faithful to her past lover and that she hasn't fallen in love with another man ever since her youth. She hasn't moved on and found herself another man. She isn't happy now, though, however, she won't break her promise.
