"Dover Beach written by Matthew Arnold Even the sea of ​​faith was once in flood, and around the shore the land lay like the folds of a bright girdle wrapped. But now I feel only its melancholy, long roar that retreats, retreating, to the breath of the night wind, along the vast edges drearAnd bare tiles of the world.Ah, love, we are true to each other to the world, which seems to lie before we as a land of dreams so varied, so beautiful, so new, have in reality neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certainty, nor peace, nor help for pain; and we are here as if on a dark plain swept by confused alarms of fight and flight where ignorant armies crash at night (Arnold 1867) After reading the poem "Dover Beach" written by Matthew Arnold, I think the main theme of this poem is being at sea at night What I really thought about this element was lying on the sea enjoying the sea breeze, feeling the wind blow and the water splash. I was able to walk along the sea on the sand enjoying the beautiful land that the earth offers us. The other thing that tells me is how difficult it is to find out the truth. I really had to do a little research on “shingles”. I didn't know that shingles also means Pebbles on the beach, when I read the word Shingles I'm thinking of Shingles on the roof actually means a real sea with a pebble beach. “Melancholy, long, resounds the roar” (Arnold 1867) term of fear. Poetry really set the foundation, it took us to a real sea, a beach that has such big sand with pebbles on it. Something that hurt us emotionally, this poem really told us a story that really references a place that exists. As I said before about the sand......in the center of the paper......hase “Ah, love, let's be honest” (Arnold 1867) As I read this term I think of two hoping that they have found the Love. wishing it could be true. “Lying before us like a land of dreams” (Arnold 1867) this phase is something they dream about lying in front of something like that is really hard to find, I think I know exactly what they mean, I've really tried to understand love on that This topic is really hard to find. I really think it really takes time to figure it all out, I really believe in taking your time to make sure that the person you truly believe in is the one before you make that decision where you want to sit down and figure out each other's lives. The last part of this poem confused me a little, I think that those who have fought to survive the night don't want pain. Having dreams of lying in the earth.
