An awful tempest mashed the air,

The clouds were gaunt and few;
A Black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.

5 The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gnashed their teeth,
And swung their frenzied hair.

The morning lit, the birds arose;
10 The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise!

This poem by American poet Emily Dickinson presents a convincing example that reflects the theme;
A) Generosity is pure.
B) This too shall pass.
C) Grief is overwhelming.
D) Evil triumphs during adversity.

I think the answer is B. I think the monsters could be representing a problem that someone is currently going through and at the end, their eyes point towards the coast and the conflict seems to disperse.
