In the poem 'The Enchanted Forest', the poet paints a vivid picture of an ecosystem where various species of animals and plants live in harmony. He speaks of exotic flowers, grand trees, and creatures like the 'mountain lion' and the 'water snake' that call this environment home. The poet also draws on metaphor, linking parts of the human body to illustrate the deep connection between nature and humanity, likening tree roots to veins and rivers to arteries. Given the language used to describe animals, plants, and human anatomy, which of the following options best captures the poet's perception of the interconnectedness between the natural and human worlds, as expressed in the poem?
