As Everywhere of Silver - meaning Summary
Fragile Boundary of Land
The poem presents a compact image of a fragile boundary between sea and shore. "Silver" suggests water or moonlight, while "Ropes of Sand" evokes futile efforts to bind or preserve that edge. The language frames land as a "Track" vulnerable to erasure; the speaker observes an attempt to stop natural erasure that is inherently temporary. Overall, the poem meditates on transience and the limited human (or material) means to fix shifting, impermanent borders between domains.
