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;
How does the author develop the character of Liberty in the poem?

A.
by describing its origins and personifying its strength

B.
by listing its journeys to different geographic locations

C.
by describing its birth and death through personification

D.
by comparing its power to that of a tyrannical government
