"An awful tempest mashed the air"
By: Emily Dickinson
An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.
The simile in line three suggests that
A) the speaker is going to die.
B) the speaker wears a black coat.
C) the darkness divides heaven from earth.
D) the darkness seems like a coat on a ghost.
