Answer: B
. The central conflict in this poem revolves around the secrecy of Tristan and Isolde’s love, and the strife this secret brings them (as they keep it from King Mark).
Explanation:
Jane Wilde wrote this poem in the 1800's, based on a Celtic legend. Her focus is on the forbidden love of Tristan And Isolde. ("None, unless the saints above, Knew the secret of their love", and " their hands would twine unseen"). Their love seems to feed on the rush of the secrecy they keep to avoid King Mark of Cornwall from finding out about it.
