Bruno's teacher challenged his class to create their own line of poetry to add after the final stanza of "Mutability": It is the same!-For, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free: Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but Mutability. Which of Bruno's lines best extends the message expressed in the final stanza? We die.-And in death, at last, achieve everlasting peace. We live.-Knowing that today's sun may give way to tomorrow's rain. We endure.-Man's soul is like the bedrock, eternal and unchanged. We thrive.-Realizing that life provides the fertile soil for us to blossom in.

Ashton Morrow · Answer 1

The answer is:

We live.-Knowing that today's sun may give way to tomorrow's rain.

The poem "Mutability," by Percy Bysshe Shelley deals with universal truths of life and how people are in a permanent state of emotional change. In that respect, Bruno's line expands the idea that life is a constant transformation: the great happiness of the present may turn to misery in the future.

Angela Patton · Answer 2
