I'm pretty confident this is false. Most scholars agree that Poe had two main inspirations when he wrote this story. The first is Joel Headley's story, "A Man Built in a Wall," published in the 1840s. That story was set in Italy, not Paris. The second was a local legend that Poe had heard about Castle Island, which is located near Boston. That story basically tells about a guy being killed in a duel and chained up to die in a dungeon.

Either way, neither of these sources has anything to do with the catacombs of Paris.

Answer:

These supporting details reveal the speaker of the poem thinks friendship is more constant than love.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are studying here was taken from Emily Bronte's "Love and Friendship". In this poem, the speaker compares love to a wild-briar, while friendship is likened to a holly-tree. Love, like the rose-briar, is intense. Its scent fills the air, and it blooms beautifully, but as soon as winter comes, it perishes. Winter is a metaphor for difficulties. In the speaker's opinion, love does not survive hardship. On the other hand, like a holly-tree, friendship lasts. It may not be as attractive as a rose-briar, but it is constant, and does not die during winter. Friendship is, therefore, more constant than love, and that is the main idea of the poem.
