Question

Which line from the poem “The Lake of the Dismal Swamp” by Thomas Moore is the best example of imagery?

“His path was rugged and sore”“Long and loving our life shall be,”"This lover and maid so true" “And the boat return’d no more.”

Answer 1

The line from the poem "The lake of the dismal swamp" by Thomas Moore that best explains imagery is:

"The path was rugged and sore"

Answer 2

"The path was rugged and sore"

This line is most distinctly descriptive. The other lines do contain imagery, but they require the reader to develop the image, whereas rugged & sore are very descriptive of the path's physical condition.
