Correct Answer:
C. Immortality Ode
Explanation:
The correct answer is Immortality Ode. This famous line is the opening of the fifth stanza of William Wordsworth's poem, Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. In this work, Wordsworth explores the Platonic concept of anamnesis, suggesting that the human soul existed in a celestial state before birth and gradually loses its divine connection as it grows older and becomes more grounded in the material world.
