Image Statement: This image comes from Matthew Arnold's poem, Dover Beach--the opening lines, "The sea is calm tonight/The tide is full, the moon lies fair/Upon the straits...." shape the image and the closing stanza "Al, love, let us be true/To one another! ...we are here as on a darkling plain" gives voice to the cry behind the image.
