Which of these stanzas from “the raven” by edgar allan poe addresses the theme of everlasting love?

a) but the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only
that one word, as if its soul in that one word he did outpour
nothing farther then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered—
till i scarcely more than muttered: "other friends have flown before—
on the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
then the bird said "nevermore."


b) but the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
straight i wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
then, upon the velvet sinking, i betook myself to linking
fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
what this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
meant in croaking "nevermore."


c) "prophet! " said i, "thing of evil! —prophet still, if bird or devil!
by that heaven that bends above us—by that god we both adore—
tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant aidenn,
it shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name lenore—
clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name lenore."
quoth the raven, "nevermore."


d) and the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
so that now, to still the beating of my heart, i stood repeating
"'tis some visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door—
some late visiter entreating entrance at my chamber door;
this it is and nothing more."

Excerpt from 100% - the story of a patriot upton sinclair 10 so peter walked along, with his belt drawn tight, and his restless blue eyes wandering here and there, looking for a place to get a meal. there were jobs to be had, but they were hard jobs, and peter wanted an easy one. there are people in this world who live by their muscles, and others who live by their wits; peter belonged to the latter class; and had missed many a meal rather than descend in the social scale. 11 peter looked into the faces of everyone he passed, searching for a possible opening. some returned his glance, but never for more than a second, for they saw an insignificant looking man, undersized, undernourished, and with one shoulder higher than the other, a weak chin and mouth, crooked teeth, and a brown moustache too feeble to hold itself up at the corners. peters' straw hat had many straws missing, his second-hand brown suit was become third-hand, and his shoes were turning over at the sides. in a city where everybody was "hustling," everybody, as they phrased it, "on the make," why should anyone take a second glance at peter gudge? why should anyone care about the restless soul hidden inside him, or dream that peter was, in his own obscure way, a sort of genius? no one did care; no one did dream. 12 it was about two o'clock of an afternoon in july, and the sun beat down upon the streets of american city. there were crowds upon the streets, and peter noticed that everywhere were flags and bunting. once or twice he heard the strains of distant music, and wondered what was "up." peter had not been reading the newspapers; all his attention bad been taken up by the quarrels of the smithers faction and the lunk faction in the first apostolic church, otherwise known as the holy rollers, and great events that had been happening in the world outside were of no concern to him. peter knew vaguely that on the other side of the world half a dozen mighty nations were locked together in a grip of death; the whole earth was shaken with their struggles, and peter had felt a bit of the trembling now and then. but peter did not know that his own country had anything to do with this european quarrel, and did not know that certain great interests throughout the country had set themselves to rouse the public to action. based on the author's characterization of peter in paragraphs 10, 11, and 12, which word best describes him? a) industrious b) loyal c) patriotic d) poor
