From "A Nocturnal Reverie" by Anne Finch When a sedate content the spirit feels, And no fierce light disturbs, whilst it reveals; But silent musings urge the mind to seek Something, too high for syllables to speak; Till the free soul to a composedness charmed,
Finding the elements of rage disarmed, O'er all below a solemn quiet grown, Joys in the inferior world, and thinks it like her own:
Which of the following accurately paraphrases the passage?
Human beings inspire one another to pursue the joys of quiet reflection.
Human beings can overcome rage only at night.
O Nature makes the human spirit content and inspires human beings by its beauty.
O Nature is fierce and disturbing to human beings and should be avoided.

O Nature makes the human spirit content and inspires human beings by its beauty.
