Yessica Astorga Discussion 10 B
Charlotte Smith p. 42
The Sea View
This poem is reminiscent of Religion and of war. The images of the waves crashing and war ships make the poem less about nature and more about the effects of war. The Shepard sits reclined on a turf while all this is going on below him. There are two different scenes here, the poem begins very tranquil and serene and drastically changes to a bloody and death struck image. Man is the key player, as he is the one who takes both these elements of Religion and War and desecrates all the God has created. “Ah! Thus man spoils Heaven’s glorious works with blood!” (42). The Shepard is creating the serene scenery and as you get closer down to earth you witness what man does with it.
