    The answer is D. Cheerless

    The figurative language that exists within this excerpt can be identified with the phrases "recesses ... to which he never came," "his austerity could never blight," and "keep the fire of my nature continually low," provide readers with a feeling of loneliness, suppression, and sadness. A person who felt this way or spoke these things would most likely be without happiness and without cheer-or cheerless.
