Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art!
Who alterest all things with thy peering eyes.
Why preyest thou thus upon the poet’s heart,
Vulture, whose wings are dull realities?

(5) How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise,
Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering
To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies,
Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing?
Hast thou not dragged Diana* from her car,

(10) And driven the Hamadryad* from the wood
To seek a shelter in some happier star?

Hast thou not torn the Naiad* from her flood,
The Elfin* from the green grass, and from me
The summer dream beneath the tamarind tree*?

Diana: the huntress, a godess of chastity. Her "car" is the moon.

Hamadryad: Wood Nymph

Naiad: Water Nymph

Elfin: Tiny creature residing in flowers

tamarind tree: a tropical tree with edible fruit and blossoms used for medicine

1번 답 B- The speaker asks a series of questions as the poem unfolds, making choice A a feasible answer. But notice that the questions are more accusatory than inquisitive. Each finds fault with science or rational thinking for ravaging the romantic world of imagination (A 가 틀린 이유)

4. A poem, an essay, or any other work of art is unified when all its components work together to create a harmonious whole. The concept of unity in literature is hard to pin down but easy to recognize when absent.

To answer the question, survey the poem for stylistic features listed in choices A~E.
Since unity is derived from the overall effect of the work rather than its individual parts, the best answer is C, the central metaphor that compares science to a type of vulture. Throughout the poem, the speaker uses words and phrases to suggest the actions of a predatory bird, among them "preyest", "soared", "dragged", and "torn". In contrast to C, the other choices are insignificant

5. A. Suggested by the last two lines of the poem
B. Stated by the idea that science preys on the poet's heart
C. Clearly stated in line 2
E. While not stated directly, is implied by the notion that science is guided by "dull realities", and that poets find hidden realities in nature-the moon, the sea, the grass, and so forth.

D. Overstates the influence of science on poetry. While science may diminish poetry, its influence is not fatal. If science had the capacity to kill poetry, this particular poem, among others, would not have been written.
