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.
The "C. The symbol of commuters as birds illustrates how they come and go without ever experiencing the city" statement is the meaning of the symbol in the passage. The writer describes the commuter as a weird bird which inhabits the suburb as its home. However<span>, this bird never considers its home important to it.</span>
Answer:
Which statement best compares the use of imagery and color in the poem and artwork to portray the woman? her hair is black with hints of red, the color of seaweed spread over rocks. morning begins the ritual wheel of the body, the application of translucent skins. she practices pleasure: the pressure of three fingertips applying powder. fingerprints of pollen some other hand will trace. the peach-dyed kimono patterned with maple leaves drifting across the silk, falls from right to left in a diagonal, revealing the nape of her neck and the curve of a shoulder like the slope of a hill set deep in snow in a country of huge white solemn birds. her face appears in the mirror, a reflection in a winter pond, rising to meet itself. the artwork’s use of color presents a woman of vigor and action, while the poem does not. the poem portrays the woman as unrefined, while the painting presents her as cultured. the artwork suggests a woman in her home, while the poem’s figurative language connects her to nature. the poem suggests that the woman is aloof, while the painting shows her to be self-absorbed.
