“spring”
by edna st. vincent millay
to what purpose, april, do you return again?
beauty is not enough.
you can no longer quiet me with the redness
of little leaves opening stickily.
i know what i know.
the sun is hot on my neck as i observe
the spikes of the crocus.
the smell of the earth is good.
it is apparent that there is no death
but what does that signify?
not only underground are the brains of men
eaten by maggots.
life in itself
is nothing,
an empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
it is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
april
comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

Ответ:
I would say the third choice "You can no longer quiet me with the redness/ Of little leaves opening stickily." ... "...little leaves..." would be the alliteration, since it is repeating the consonant sound.

O' Henry's choice to have Jimmy write the note to Bob provides the reader with insight into Jimmy's character and illustrates how different the two men are after twenty years. After this time, Jimmy has become a police officer and Bob, a famous criminal. They used to be friends when they were younger. But when they meet after twenty years, Jimmy realizes that his friend is a known criminal who is being searched for, and, as he used to be close to him in the past, he cannot arrest him on his own, so he looks for another police officer to arrest his friend.
