Sea
by Virna Sheard
'Sea' Summary
The Sea is a powerful poem that uses the imagery of the ocean to symbolize the immensity of the tragedy of the Titanic sinking. Sheard's words evoke the vastness of the sea and the fragility of human life. The poem mourns the loss of over 1500 lives, remembering the victims and acknowledging the profound impact of the disaster. It speaks to the enduring human spirit and the enduring power of the sea, both a source of beauty and a force of destruction. Sheard's poem is a reminder of the human cost of historical events and the importance of remembering those who have been lost.Book Details
