Sonnet: To Liberty (1796) by Mary Robinson

Oh! Liberty! transcendent and sublime!
Born on the mountain's solitary crest;
Nature thy nurse, thy fire unconquered Time,

Truth, the pure inmate of thy glowing breast!

Oft dost thou wander by the billowy deep,

Scattering the sands that bind the level shore,

Or, towering, brave the desolating roar

That bids the tyrant tempest lash the steep!

'Tis thine, when sanguinary demons lour,

Amidst the thickening hosts to force thy way;
Which statement BEST summarizes the poem's final thought in lines 13 through 14?

A.
People cherish the idea of freedom, but unless they embrace truth, they will not be ready to fight for it.

B.
The end of the world will come if people do not fight the government, but if they do, liberty will be exalted.

C.
Disorganized societies will cause the end of the world as we know it, but human innovation will rebuild it.

D.
People will cherish freedom until the end of civilization, and society will end when people no longer desire liberty.
