As Is the Sea Marvelous
As Is the Sea Marvelous - meaning Summary
Unchanging Sea, Transformative Love
The poem contrasts a vast, steady sea with a collapsing cosmos to explore constancy amid decay. The sea, sent and received by divine hands, remains unchanged while earth, moon, and stars disintegrate. That enduring image frames an intimate turn: the speaker experiences love as a breaking — the beloved’s soul meeting the speaker’s lips — suggesting an encounter that is both gentle and transformative against a backdrop of cosmic dissolution.
