The ideas discussed in the passage are

C. Nature can destroy creations that were thought indestructible; humans aren't as powerful as the forces of nature.

Explanation:

The passage given here is principally concerned with the nature of the power of nature over humans. In that, the nature can and will be superior over whatever the human power will achieve as it can make it erode and wither away.

Even the things that the humans would think would be indestructible are fairly easy to collapse and to destroy.

So the permanence of the human power over nature is disputed here in the two concurrent ideas of the destructibility of everything and nature's dominion over humans.

According to Edgar Allan Poe in "The Philosophy of Composition," why are short poems preferable when it comes to "unity of impre
mihalych1998 [28]
In spring of 1846, Edgar Allan Poe (1809849) moved from New York City to his country cottage in Fordham where he wrote "The Philosophy of Composition," an essay that promises to recount the method he used to write his famous poem "The Raven" (1845). In the essay Poe challenges those who suggest that writing is a mysterious process prompted solely by the imagination. Although the it offers a number of precepts for good writing, at the end of the essay, Poe undercuts his step-by-step instructions by insisting that all writing should have an "under-current" of meaning. Because he never demonstrates how to create that "under-current," Poe's essay never completely reveals the process that makes his work so powerful.
