Question

What do you think the poet wishes to convey through the last line of the poem? A Boat Beneath A Sunny Sky

Answer 1

Lovingly shall nestle near. Life, what is it but a dream? In “A Boat, Beneath a Sunny Sky,” Carroll conveys the implacability of time through images of its consequences—the “pal[ing]” of a “sunny sky,” the changing of a season, and the loss of wonder or innocence that often accompanies the transition to adulthood.
