Why is Eve convinced that Adam cannot perceive

beauty?

A Adam does not have the same appreciation of

beauty in nature as Eve does, because to him it

doesn't serve a purpose.

B Adam refuses to leave his shelter for fear of the

outside world, and Eve misinterprets this as a

lack of appreciation of beauty.

C Adam does not tell her that she is beautiful, even

though she knows she is; ironically, he does too

but is too shy to tell her.

D Adam does not talk much about the Garden, and

Eve misinterprets this as a lack of appreciation of

beauty.

This excerpt is from “the poet” by alfred, lord tennyson. the poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. which three lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts? thus truth was multiplied on truth, [the world like one great garden show'd,] and thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd, rare sunrise flow'd. [and freedom rear'd in that august sunrise] her beautiful bold brow, when rites and forms before his burning eyes melted like snow. [there was no blood upon her maiden robes] sunn'd by those orient skies; but round about the circles of the globes of her keen eyes and in her raiment's hem was traced in flame wisdom, a name to shake [all evil dreams of power--a sacred name.] and when she spake, [her words did gather thunder as they ran,] and as the lightning to the thunder which follows it, riving the spirit of man, making earth wonder, so was their meaning to her words. no sword of wrath her right arm whirl'd, [ but one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word] she shook the world.
