The two statements that best express the speaker's emotions toward Atthis are a)the speaker still feels sad about Atthis' unfaithfulness, and c) the speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.

The first stanza expresses nostalgia and sadness because it speaks of a time long passed, and the images of twilight on the sea and winds that have gone and will not come back reinforce the idea.

The last stanza expresses sadness that Atthis loves another more than her, thus being unfaithful to someone that loved her madly.
