✅ Relevant lines from the poem:

"While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things."

"While here I stand, not only with the sense
Of present pleasure, but with pleasing thoughts
That in this moment there is life and food
For future years. And so I dare to hope,
Though changed, no doubt, from what I was when first
I came among these hills..."

"...sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;"

These lines show that:

• The beauteous forms gave him "sensations sweet" → ✅ Statement ii

• He felt them in the blood and along the heart → ✅ Statement iii
