Question

The Romantic Movement had many tenets that guided its artists and writers—one such tenet was the ideal that nature offered nourishment for the soul. Which line from “Ode to a Nightingale” seems to support this view of the world?
A) Tasting of Flora and the country green,
Dance, and Provençal song, and sunburnt mirth!
[...]
That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,
B) My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains
My sense, as though of hemlock I had drunk,
Or emptied some dull opiate to the drains
C) Away! away! for I will fly to thee,
Not charioted by Bacchus and his pards,
D) Through the sad heart of Ruth, when, sick for home,
She stood in tears amid the alien corn;
