Beyond the Brittle Towns Asleep
Beyond the Brittle Towns Asleep - meaning Summary
Dusk Over the Sea
The poem depicts a solitary speaker watching the sea at dusk. Repeated phrases emphasize the repeating, diminishing light as foam and shorelines are described with vivid, uncanny motion. The ocean becomes a vast, impersonal presence pouring "eyeless miles," while sunset dies and only strange tidal sounds remain. Overall it conveys a quiet, eerie encounter with nature’s scale and indifference, mixing wonder with a sense of smallness and loss.
