Answer:
The Railway Train
by Emily Dickinson
I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step
Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties, by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare
To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill
And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop--docile and omnipotent--
At its own stable door.

Answer:
(B)
Explanation:
Haemon is the person whom Antigone is supposed to marry in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to marry her first cousin, Prince Haemon. Haemon is the only surviving child and heir of his parents, King Creon and Queen Eurydice. His father is Antigone's uncle.
Haemon is the person that Antigone is supposed to marry. They're engaged, and in love. They're cousins, because Haemon's father is the brother of Antigone's now dead mother, Theban Queen Jocasta.
But Haemon's father also is King of Thebes. As the royal ruler, Theban King Creon makes and enforces laws. One such law is non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. It's a law that Antigone breaks, for her brother Polyneices. And Creon isn't a king to make exceptions. He calls for the death sentence even though
Antigone is his niece and his future daughter-in-law. That ends any marriage plans for Antigone and Haemon.
