I dont think that there is a " wrong " quote to be used, it just depends on how you link it to the question, if you use good analysis and somehow link it to the question you should be alright and if not you will be okay aha what quote did you use?

examiner probably knows the poems so if you have made an analysis on the quote thats not in the poems being asked then you can’t get any AO1 or AO2 marks as its not relevant. but they mark so many scripts iI doubt they will notice the quote and will care about the analysis
