I grew up on the Connecticut shoreline and currently live on the shores of Southern Massachusetts. For those of us who have spent time by the ocean, you can place yourself on the beach, via the description of the poem: A sound mysteriously multiplied <br />As of a cataract from the mountain's side, <br />Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep. The ocean has always been a place of solace for me. It reminds us that life is every changing, yet always constant in it's entity. I can relate to the analogy of The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul, "And inspirations that we deem our own, Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing Of things beyond our reason or control. These stanza's really spoke to me, noting that while the soul and our life has inspirations, there are many things that are out of our control. <br /><br />Regards, <br />Peg D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
