Dover Beach

Dover Beach is a poem by Matthew Arnold, written in 1851, that reflects on the changing nature of faith and the human experience. The poem uses the imagery of the sea to convey feelings of loss and uncertainty in a world increasingly devoid of spiritual certainty. Notable for its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, it has been widely studied and anthologized in English literature.
