Read the following excerpt from the poem “On Imagination” by Phillis Wheatley. Imagination! who can sing thy force? Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode, Th' empyreal palace of the thund'ring God, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind: From star to star the mental optics rove, Measure the skies, and range the realms above. There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul. What does the speaker compare imagination to in the poem?

A thunder storm. More specifically lightning. With words like "soar" "bright" and "thundering God" these clearly point to a celestial entity. Things that are bright and fly could be considered shooting stars except for the fact of thunder making noise.

Answer:

for plato users: C. The imagination has no bounds beyond the limit of one's own mind. a soaring bird is pictured to be free of limitations, retaining the ability to go where it pleases, and fly carefree as it does so, just as your imagination flows carefree, without limitations, going where you please it.
