Please help!  Which line from "Nothing Gold Can Stay" contains an allusion?



Nature's first green is gold,/ Her hardest hue to hold.


Her early leaf's a flower;/ But only so an hour.


Then leaf subsides to leaf./ So Eden sank to grief,


So dawn goes down to day./ Nothing gold can stay

I would say the second one, "Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour"

The line from "Nothing Gold Can Stay" that contains an allusion is, so Eden sank to grief.

What is allusion?

Allusion refers to imaging something without referring to the context directly.

Because allusion refers to imaging something without referring to the context directly. So, in the line so Eden sank to grief, it creates an allusion of biblical reference about  the Garden of Eden, where everything was perfect until Eve ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. So with this line poet creates an allusion of nothing good can last as long as its the part of human existence. And the poet express this with just this line so Eden sank to grief.

Hence the correct option is, So Eden sank to grief,
