Emerson says, "For, nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today" To what senses does this imagery appeal?

Respuesta :

Answer:

- Sight and Smell.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, Emerson has employed sensory details to propose vivid imagery and description in order to capture the readers' interest and appeal to their senses that usually include sight, sound, taste, smell or touch but the senses that are being affected through the given imagery are 'sight and smell'.

The words that substantiate this(sight and smell) claim(given imagery appeals to sight and sound') are 'breathed perfume'(appeals to smell) and 'glittered'(appeals to sight). This assists Emerson to persuade the audience and elicit the desired response from them.
