Respuesta :

Auden would most likely rewrite the following line(s) of the poem if  Brueghel's painting had depicted the farmer rescuing Icarus thus:

C. the ploughman  

heard the splash, the forsaken cry,

And for him it was a concerning situation

  • In the poem, we learn about young Icarus who was disobedient to his father's caution of flying too high. In Auden's poem, it was shown that while Icarus fell down the farmer was unconcerned.

  • But if the poem was written to show that the farmers cared, then option C would be written instead because it indicates that the situation was a concerning one.
