Question

Describe the image of the sea in
Dover Beach?​

Answer 1

The Sea. ... Finally, to the speaker the sea represents faith. This is the most explicitly stated symbol in the poem, as the speaker refers to the "Sea of Faith." He describes how it was once "at the full" and is now—like a retreating wave—"withdrawing" and leaving the world a darker, harsher, more confusing place.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dover Beach" is a lyric poem by the English poet Matthew Arnold.[1] It was first published in 1867 in the collection New Poems, but surviving notes indicate its composition may have begun as early as 1849. The most likely date is 1851.[2]

The title, locale and subject of the poem's descriptive opening lines is the shore of the English ferry port of Dover, in Kent, facing Calais, in France, at the Strait of Dover, the narrowest part (21 miles (34 km)) of the English Channel, where Arnold honeymooned in 1851.[2] Many of the beaches in this part of England are made up of small stones or pebbles rather than sand, and Arnold describes the sea ebbing over the stones as a "grating roar".[3]
