D. "mute, motionless, aghast".

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "To One in Paradise" is about a person's loss of his love. The poem, like most of Poe's poems, deals with themes of loss, melancholy, suffering, feeling alone, depressing, despair, hopelessness, etc.

In the poem, the speaker talks of his love who had died. This made him depressed and eventually with no prospects of living at all. The first stanza addresses the dead love directly and who was his everything. He described her as "A green isle in the sea . . . A fountain and a shrine, All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers".

Then, the mood shifted when "the dream [was] too bright to last". The speaker reveals his spirit was left "Mute, motionless, aghast!" This takes him back to the reality where he is all alone, unable to move past the fact that she's no more while he remains.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
