Answer 1

Answer:

This is Your Answer.

Explanation:

The poet hears the slow sad music of the sea. He is reminded how Sophocles heard the same sad music of the Aegean Sea (the sea between Greece and Asia Minor). Sophocles was a great Greek playwright.The sad music of this sea brought to Sophocles’ mind the wretchedness of human life. This inspired him to write great plays in which he dramatises various aspects of human misery and tragedy. The poet remarks that like Sophocles they (the poet and his beloved) also find a note of human misery in the sound of the sea at Dover Beach. The sound of the sea, thus, gives expression to human misery that was there in Sophocles’ times and is there in their own times.

The allusion to Sophocles is, thus, important as it generalises the whole situation. Human misery is a universal feature. In generalising a particular situation the poet wants to console us that such situations have occurred in the past, too and will continue to recur as well. We need to accept the present state of misery as it is.
