I would say that it means that people were fearful from something behind them, and some people were lost, it was cruel and scary but at the same it was beautiful that would make you lose all faith then get it all back again.
<span>"two different writers have made Rosencrantz and Guildenstern into main characters"
The other three options might be true, but they are not directly stated in the passage. The only clear statement that the author makes is that two different authors (Stoppard in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" and Gilbert in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern") took those two characters and make them the focus of their play.</span>
In this poem the repetition of 'and' is used to add emphasis using the figurative language juxta position, to show the significance of the event.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
