They tell thou art rash and vain,
A searcher after fame;
That thou art striving but to gain
A long enduring name;

What can be inferred from this excerpt from Whittier’s poem "To William Lloyd Garrison"?

Garrison hated stirring up controversy.
Garrison was a polarizing figure at the time.
Garrison cared about his image above all else.
Garrison had no power or influence at the time.
