{Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted}
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted

And from this chasm, with {ceaseless turmoil seething,}
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
{A mighty fountain momently was forced :}
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
{It flung up momently the sacred river.}

The correct answer among all the other choices is antipodes. This word describes the people who live on opposite sides of the world. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
