"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! prophet still if bird or devil!
By that heaven that bends above us- by that god we both adore,
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

At this point in the story, it is where Poe sets the climax. It is where the protagonist finally realizes all the questions he did not want to ask the crow for fear of hearing his answer. And finally it does. He understands that "Nevermore" he will see Lenore, and that he will never find a rare and radiant maiden like she was.
