The whole sonnet is, in my opinion, about the fact that this woman does not love the poet - she is hiding her feelings well, and thinking about somebody else. So, the correct answer could be either C or D.
In this excerpt, the statement that is the best interpretation of this excerpt is
<em>The narrator enjoys the peaceful surroundings of the mountains.</em>
This poem is not about preferences or adventures of any kind. The author wants to project to the reader the feelings that these elements produce on him. He uses the comparative with nature because of the conviction that it never changes.
When He says: "come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill.." and mentions the mythical brotherhood of sun and moon and hollow and wood, and river and stream"
He is using these comparatives to represent the value of the happiness of giving love to another person without limit. It is the purest expression of love.
I believe it would be 'The thesis statement and author's purpose are clear.' Hope I helped! :)
It is feautrured in Songs of Experience because the poem talks about the experience of a tiger. It is a suspense poem. Indeed, the life of a tiger is full of suspenses. The poem's opening lines are:
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
The poet praises the the qualities of the tiger by asking questions without answering them. In the remaining lines of the poem, the author continues praising the perfectness of the animal, calling it dark craftsmanship. The thought-provoking point is about the comparison between The Tyger and the previous poem The Lamb which the poet himself doubts that the same God could create innocent spirit like a lamb and such a fierce animal like tiger at the same time. or it could be interpreted as God's different expressions showing his kindness in the face of lamb and his anger in the qualities of tiger.
