Seaside

Seaside

by Rupert Brooke

Seaside, a collection of poems by Rupert Brooke, is a poignant reflection on the themes of youth, nature, and the beauty of England. These poems, written before the outbreak of the First World War, capture a sense of innocence and optimism that was soon to be shattered by the realities of conflict. While not explicitly focused on war, the poems are imbued with a sense of foreboding, foreshadowing the impending tragedy. Brooke's distinctive style is characterized by a lyrical and melodic voice, with a focus on imagery and evocative language. His poems often explore the natural world, finding solace and inspiration in the landscapes of England. Seaside, though a collection of diverse poems, is unified by Brooke's characteristically Romantic approach, celebrating the beauty and wonder of life.
