Question 5 Read the poem, A Parable, byſSir Arthur Conan Doyle. Then, answer the question.
The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there,
And warmly debated the matter,
The Orthodox said that it came from the air,
And the Heretics said from the platter.
They argued it long and they argued it strong,
And I hear they are arguing now;
But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,
Not one of them though of a cow.
Modernist poems of the early 20th century were a reaction to what phenomenon?
yes

I like the first poem because it tries to bring out the feeling of a non - living thing: it makes it so interesting.
