Question

In this excerpt from the poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant, what is the meaning of the word list?

Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder and grow sick at heart;--
Go forth, under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings, while from all around--
Earth and her waters, and the depths of air--
Comes a still voice--Yet a few days, and thee
The all-beholding sun shall see no more

Answer 1

the answer is A lean

Answer 2

"List" is a poetic way of saying "listen", so technically none of them are correct.

However, with the context of the poem, the most reasonable answer would be "desire", strongly wish or want (something).

I don't like this question at all, I'm assuming it came from Plato.
