Questions: "But an insect lithe and strong, Bowing the seeded summer flowers Prove their falsehood and thy quarrel, Vaulting on thine airy feet"

To determine which lines from the poem suggest that the grasshopper is elegant, graceful, and resilient, we need to analyze the language and imagery used in each line.

1. "But an insect lithe and strong,"

   • This line directly describes the grasshopper as "lithe and strong." The word "lithe" suggests elegance and grace, as it implies flexibility and agility. "Strong" indicates resilience, suggesting that the grasshopper is robust and capable of enduring challenges.

2. "Bowing the seeded summer flowers."

   • The imagery of "bowing the seeded summer flowers" conveys a sense of gracefulness. The act of bowing is often associated with elegance and poise. The grasshopper's interaction with the flowers suggests a gentle and graceful movement.

3. "Prove their falsehood and thy quarrel,"

   • This line does not directly convey elegance, grace, or resilience. Instead, it seems to refer to a challenge or conflict, which might imply resilience in a broader context, but it is not as explicit as the other lines.

4. "Vaulting on thine airy feet"

   • The word "vaulting" suggests a dynamic and graceful movement, akin to leaping or jumping with ease. "Airy feet" implies lightness and elegance, reinforcing the idea of the grasshopper being graceful and agile.

Based on this analysis, the lines that most clearly depict the grasshopper as elegant, graceful, and resilient are:

• "But an insect lithe and strong,"
• "Bowing the seeded summer flowers."
• "Vaulting on thine airy feet"
