From Robert Frosts ' Wild Grapes' is

Answer Details

The given quote is from Robert Frost's poem "Wild Grapes". The quote speaks of the speaker's relationship with a tree. The speaker says that he had the tree, but in reality, the tree had him. This quote suggests the speaker's realization that nature is more powerful than humans and can hold a deeper meaning than what meets the eye. Therefore, the correct option is not about the adventures of wild children or the successful climbing of an adventurous boy, but instead, it speaks of man's transcendentalism and his connection with nature.
