Compare And Contrast William Lendon And Dover Beach

Poets use imagery to develop or provoke meaning by appealing to the human senses. The image is something that represented as its own thing, or it represents anything other than itself. It is “language that addresses the sense.” (Beyer 622). Most poems are brief section of a story, an emotion that is being created in short lines. Writers uses image to express his/her mood or emotion by putting them into words at any given moment that draw the readers into a sensory experience. Both poems “London” by William Blake and “Dover Beach” by Mathew Arnold show that imagery plays significant important role in poetry, and it influences the readers of a poem to the meaning that the poet describes through it, which enable the readers to share the poet’s

Faith in God is strong and comforting. Faith wrapped itself around us, protecting us from doubt and despair. It is the same thing in comparison to the sea, it wraps itself around the continents and islands. But here, Arnold uses the “Sea of Faith” to describe what has become a sea of doubt.

Arnold now suddenly used a simile to compare the Ocean of Faith to a bright girdle furled. The ocean being at its height compares to a fancy, rolled up belt (bright girdle furled). The entire idea is complex, momentarily apart from the large waves and misery. Arnold uses his skill of elaborate simile and lively image that make the image of the poem more

Every church building is “black’ning” with smoke from the chimney. Blake uses the metaphor to describe that church should be appalled by the cry of the “chimney-sweeper.” It is there to help the poor, but it is the shame that it failed to give that help. Blake also shows the reader the image of the “hapless” soldiers with their blood is running down the Palace wall. Blake shows the last image of London in the last stanza. The image of the harlot that is the truth behind respectable ideas of marriage. He uses the word “plagues” to describe the picture of the sexually transmitted disease that will affect to the
