In this excerpt from And Oh - That the Man I Am Might Cease to Be - by D.H. Lawrence, the word that best describes the poet's attitude is pessimistic.

The correct answer is B. 

Along this excerpt, we see how the poet wishes everything would run out of light, he seems to feel comfortable with the darkness. He actually says he wishes a thick black darkness "for ever".

Lawrence doesn't seem to be willing to shift this energy described in the excerpt, on the contrary, he seems to enjoy the kind of hole he describes.
