A woman bends over me,

Searching my reaches for what she really is.

Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.

What is the woman bending over?

• the mirror

• the lake

• the opposite wall

• the moon and the candles

When the poet says that the mirror has no preconceptions it means.

• It reflects your image vaguely.

• It gives an unbiased and truthful view of the person.

• It is emotionally involved with the person whose image it reflects.

• It does not care what the other person thinks of it.
