Question

Which excerpt from the poem best reflects the Romantic fascination with the supernatural?

A. “Through caverns measureless to man / Down to a sunless sea.”


B. A savage place! As holy and enchanted / As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By woman wailing for her demon lover!”


C. “The shadow of the dome of pleasure / Floated midway on the waves; / Where was heard the mingled measure / From the fountain and the caves.”


D. “It was an Abyssinian maid, / And on her dulcimer she played, / Singing of Mount Abora.”

Answer 1

I believe that the answer is B. A savage place! As holy and enchanted / As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted / By woman wailing for her demon lover!” because it talks about a supernatural being, a demon, being someone's lover.

Answer 2

b

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a description of a savage place that is enchanted.This is something unreal and supernatural.Apart from that there is another element, the haunted moon.Haunting is another supernatural detail depicted in romantoc poetry.A demon lover gives an image of a monstruous being which is also part of this fascination about all that was obscure and from another world or reality.
