Suggested answer: I associate the poem with the picture that shows the Tower of Babel as a symbol of human pride and ambition. The poem seems to describe the tower as something grand, but also doomed, because people tried to reach too high and challenge God. That is why the picture with a huge unfinished tower and a dramatic, gloomy atmosphere fits the poem best.
