Sonnet: To Liberty (1796)
by Mary Robinson
Oh! Liberty! transcendent and sublime!
Born on the mountain's solitary crest;
Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered Time,
Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast!
Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,
Scattering the sands that bind the level shore,
Or, towering, brave the desolating roar
That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep!
'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour,
Amidst the thickening hosts to force thy way;
What does the speaker MOST LIKELY mean by "human mind" in line 13?
A.
the unruly lives of the people
B.
the internal conflicts of individuals
C.
the intellectual and ethical views of society
D.
the mental processes developed through education
