Answer:
It's tough for a reader to know what a poet's intentions were by reading a poem they wrote; we can only really assess what the poet actually achieves, whether or not that is what they meant to achieve. It's possible, though, that Browning was attempting to do more with this poem that to just tell us another love story. It is interesting to note that he uses figurative language to describe "waves" as "fiery" in the first stanza, and then he uses figurative language to describe a "lighted match" as a "blue spurt," which sounds very much like water ("spurt" especially seems to describe a liquid) in the second part. Twice, then, he combines fire with water in the poem, and this is so interesting because water quenches fire; water puts fire out. We often associate fire with passionate romance, don't we? We might talk of a fiery passion or burning love without really giving thought to the figures of speech we're...
Answer:
The main theme of this poem is the urgency and desire for the lover to meet the beloved. This poem also shows the dichotomy between the beauty of art and the action of life;you cannot enjoy both nature and go on with life at the same time,its either one or the other.
