C. Sacrifices are necessary to create great art.

Explanation:

In the lyrical poem "The Lady of Shallot," Tennyson describes a woman who is trapped in a tower under a curse. The curse is that she can never look outside the window, which means that her only interactions with the world are through a mirror. The lady spends all her time weaving images of the things that she sees in the mirror. One of the central ideas present in the poem is that sacrifices are necessary in order to create great art. This is the case of the lady and her art.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
