Question

Why could not the cool water of the pool soothe poet's fever? Of the poem past and present poated by Thomas Hood.

Answer 1

Explanation:

hn Masefield’s Sea-Fever is perhaps his most well-known work and describes the poet’s longing to go to sea. Despite its first-person poetic voice, the principal theme of wanderlust is one that transcends the speaker and can be identified with by many. Masefield spent time as a sailor aboard different ships and therefore can effortlessly demonstrate his love for and affinity with this lifestyle. The poem is brief and simple, yet it’s lyrical composition, repeated refrain and poetic devices render it a perfect poem to be both read aloud or reflected upon in solitude
