Which line(s) from the poem, "an ancient gesture," most create(s) a tone of remorse and regret? 1 i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: 2 penelope did this too. 3 and more than once: you can't keep weaving all day 4 and undoing it all through the night; 5 your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight; 6 and along towards morning, when you think it will never be light, 7 and your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years. 8 suddenly you burst into tears; 9 there is simply nothing else to do. 10 and i thought, as i wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: 11 this is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique, 12 in the very best tradition, classic, greek; 13 ulysses did this too. 14 but only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied 15 to the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak. 16 he learned it from 17 penelope, who really cried.
