excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" best reveals the allegorical nature of this short story?
A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell, was creeping gradually over them all. They gazed at one
another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm.
But the doctor's four friends had taught no such lesson to themselves. They resolved forthwith to make a pilgrimage to Florida,
and quaff at morning, noon, and night, from the Fountain of Youth.
Then all shouted mirthfully, and leaped about the room. The Widow Wycherly-if so fresh a damsel could be called a widow-
tripped up to the doctor's chair, with a mischievous merriment in her rosy face.
Ос.
OD.
With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands before her face, and wished
that the coffin-lid were over it, since it could be no longer beautiful.

Match the meaning to the poetic expression.


Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers in New England

The breaking waves dash'd high

On a stern and rock-bound coast,

And the woods against a stormy sky

Their giant branches toss'd.

And the heavy night hung dark 5

The hills and waters o'er,

When a band of exiles moor'd their bark* *small ship

On the wild New England shore.

Not as the conqueror comes,

They, the true-hearted, came; 10

Not with the roll of the stirring drums,

And the trumpet that sings of fame;

Not as the flying come,

In silence and in fear;--

They shook the depths of the desert gloom 15

With their [songs] of lofty cheer.

Amidst the storm they sang,

And the stars heard and the sea;

And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang

To the anthem of the free! 20

The ocean eagle soar'd

From his nest by the white wave's foam;

And the rocking pines of the forest roar'd--

This was their welcome home!

There were men with hoary hair 25

Amidst that pilgrim band;--

Why had they come to wither there,--

Away from their childhood's land?

There was woman's fearless eye,

Lit by her deep love's truth; 30

There was manhood's brow serenely high,

And the fiery heart of youth.

What sought they thus afar?

Bright jewels of the mine?

The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?-- 35

They sought a faith's pure shrine!

Ay, call it holy ground,

The soil where first they trod!

They have left unstain'd what there they found--

Freedom to worship God. 40

“The character you appear to us in, is truly ridiculous. Your friends, the Tories, announced your coming, with high descriptions of your unlimited powers; but your proclamation has given them the lie, by showing you to be a commissioner without authority. Had your powers been ever so great they were nothing to us, further than we pleased; because we had the same right which other nations had, to do what we thought was best. ‘The UNITED STATES of AMERICA,’ will sound as pompously in the world or in history, as ‘the kingdom of Great Britain’; the character of General Washington will fill a page with as much lustre as that of Lord Howe: and the Congress have as much right to command the king and Parliament in London to desist from legislation, as they or you have to command the Congress. Only suppose how laughable such an edict would appear from us, and then, in that merry mood, do but turn the tables upon yourself, and you will see how your proclamation is received here.”
