- "Poetry is the language of the imagination and the passions. It relates to whatever gives immediate pleasure or pain to the human mind. It comes home to the bosoms and business of men for nothing but what comes home to them in the most general and intelligible shape can be a subject for poetry. Poetry is the universal language which the health holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else. Wherever there is a sense of beauty or harmony, as in the motion of a wave of the sea in the growth of a flower there is poetry in its birth."
Which of the following expressions duly correspond with the given passage:
A . Poetry ensures for the immediate pleasure and pain experienced by the creative mind.
B . It revolves around the general and intelligible feelings of the people.
C . A contempt for poetry and self-respect are mutually compatible.
D . It unavoidably relates to mankind's sense of beauty, power and harmony.
