Answer:

B. Past.

Explanation:

The poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant is a poem that deals with the approach of human about the issue of death. It presents the different and quite unusual way of viewing death and the meaning of death.

When the poet says <em>"Thou shalt lie down / With patriarchs of the infant world"</em>, he meant to imply that when one dies, he will be united with the ones who are already gone before him. "<em>Sleeping"</em> with the "<em>patriarchs</em>", "<em>the powerful of the earth- the wise, the good, Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past</em>". These past personalities will be one's companions in the afterlife, becoming one in nature.

This meditative poem brings us back to the theme of man being one with nature and the mortality of man which will unite him with the nature world. Thus, the word "<em>infant</em>' in the poem will suggest the past.

Lines 1–8: What elements of Greek mythology do you find in these lines? How do you know a conflict begins here?
pantera1 [17]

Hello. You did not show the passage to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for me to give you an exact answer, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The elements of Greek mythology present in "Black ships before troy" are the presence of gods and the interaction that exists between them and humans, causing good and evil depending on their intent and mood.

In addition, it is possible to notice the beginning of a conflict in a story, when reading presents a dispute or disagreement between two or more characters, between the eprsonage against oneself, or between a character and nature.
