41.

The correct answer is (C).

The long way that the speaker

refers to in the last stanza is his life. Choice (C), the bird’s route

along the pathless coast, is a metaphor for the speaker’s way

through life. If you read a few lines above and below the cited

line, you will see the reference to “a Power.” This is the same

entity the speaker refers to in lines 29 and 30, “He who, from

zone to zone,/Guides through the boundless sky thy certain

flight.” Choices (A), (B), (D), and (E) create the image of a bird

in flight, but none equate to the entire journey.
