Question

How is the sea described in the frist stanza

Answer 1

Answer

James Reeves's poem "The Sea" uses an extended metaphor to describe the sea as a dog. In the first stanza, the choppy gray sea is characterized as a hungry dog with "clashing teeth and shaggy jaws." The waves roll and gnaw like a dog on the stones they churn around. The onomatopoeic moans mimic the sound of the sea, and the spray resembles the tongue of a dog "Licking his greasy paws." The image of the greasy paws evokes the way the light makes a film over the gray sea.
