Question
which line from the poem \monets waterlilies\ by robert hayden includes an allusion?
○ \today as the news from selma and saigon\
○ \o light beheld as through refracting tears.\
○ \here space and time exist in light\
○ \here is the aura of that world\
An allusion is a reference to a real-world event, person, or work. Selma refers to the 1960s US civil rights marches in Selma, Alabama, and Saigon refers to the Vietnam War-era capital of South Vietnam—these are real historical events referenced directly in the line. The other lines use figurative language but no external references.
