According to our class studies, there are seven major Tenets of Romanticism. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

Individualism

Imagination over Reason

Stream of Consciousness

Writing for all people

"If this belief from heaven be sent,

If such be Nature's holy plan,

Have I not reason to lament

What man has made of man?"

In these lines from “Lines Written in Early Spring”, it is plain to see that throughout the poem the author is telling the reader that the nature is a powerful teacher and observing nature can be instructive, using personification and other figurative language.

This shows Romantic ideas of nature and that nature is living all around us and is an example of which Tenet of Romanticism?

Nature as a source of spiritual nourishment

Writing for all people

Innate goodness and innocent in humanity

Idealism of the World

When the speaker of the poem refers to the Greek goddesses, Lethe and Psyche in "Ode on Melancholy," he is using the literary device of _____________.

allusion

metaphor

apostrophe

personification

Stream of consciousness which came much later than the Romantic writers and artists.

The Second one has to be B. It cannot be the last 2. We as a species have failed to live up to the Romantic ideal. He is lecturing all people, not writing for them. He is disappointed in man's behavior.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to the third one. My guess would be allusion. He is referring to Greek gods.
