The following text is from Anne Spencer’s 1922 poem “Translation.”

We trekked into a far country,
My friend and I.
Our deeper content was never spoken,
But each knew all the other said.

He told me how calm his soul was laid
By the lack of anvil and strife.
“The wooing kestrel,” I said, “mutes his mating-note
To please the harmony of this sweet silence.”
Based on the text, which statement is true of the speaker and her friend?
A
They understand one another’s feelings without having to explicitly discuss them.
B
They think nature is much less interesting than being in a dynamic city.
C
They once felt more closely connected to one another than they do now.
D
They regard the natural world as a place of both peace and conflict.
