The values that were typical of Robert Louis Stevenson's age were the honor and morality of one's self and one's family. An individual must never do anything that would diminish reputation but strive to maintain it or better it. Individuals were to be characters of good moral standing. There was a firm belief in the upkeep of outward appearances of dignity and restrain. Individuals were also supposed to uphold the law above all else, except God. In the middle classes, the idea of self-made men and entrepreneurship was born and this fostered the "American Dream".
The quote is incomplete. It should read: "For language is arbitrarily produced by the imagination, and has relation to thoughts alone; but all other materials, instruments and conditions of art have relations among each other which limit and interpose between conception and expression. The former is as a mirror which reflects, the later as a cloud which enfeebles the light of which both are mediums of communication. Hence the fame of sculptors, painters and musicians...has never equaled that of poets..."
A Defence of Poetry- Percy Shelley
In my view the correct answer should be B: “and has relation to thoughts alone”.
The reason being that as Shelley explains later, he considers that language has a direct, unique and exclusive relation with thoughts. Logically, thoughts are a direct product of the imagination, whether they are spontaneous or a result of external stimuli, and if according to his logic language is intimately and exclusively related to them it follows that language comes from the imagination. For Shelley as a poet, because language comes directly from imagination without the mediation or interference of any kind, poetry is the purest form of art.
