Which set of lines in this excerpt from "Easter, 1816" by W. B. Yeats suggests that the speaker had only a limited acquaintance with the people he is writing about?
I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey
Eighteenth-century houses.
I have passed with a nod of the head
Or polite meaningless words,
Or have lingered awhile and said
Polite meaningless words,
And thought before I had done
Of a mocking tale or a gibe
To please a companion
Around the fire at the club,
Being certain that they and I
But lived where motley is worn:
All changed, changed utterly:
A terrible beauty is born.
. . .
Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter seem
Enchanted to a stone
To trouble the living stream.

Respuesta :

The answer that best answers this question is option 1. He describes brief encounters with people he does not know with "Polite meaningless words", and "I have passed with a nod of the head". He doesn't state that he has any deeper or personal ties to these people, therefore having a limited aquaintance with them. Hope I helped, please rate brainliest if I helped you.
the stanza that starts with i have passed with a nod
