In Romney Marsh John Davidson - 1920
This poem is an exploration of memory and the passing of time
Concerned with the emergence of the modern world
The encroachment of the modern world into nature
Paradox as we wouldn't be reading this poem without the use of technology
Fear of industrialisation
It could be argued that this poem is a conflict against technology
It explores the transient and ephemeral nature of memory
The use of colour/sound further adds to the sense of decay and deterioration of nature
This image serves to further emphasise the poets love for nature
This poen is concerned with a shift from nature to a modern landscape
"And beads of surge"
suggests the waves moving forward conveying the sense of technology
"The wire from Romney town to Hythe" is a symbol of industrialisation
"
Flicker and fade from out the West"
emphasises a sense of decay and despair in nature.
"I heard the South sing o'er the land"
is alliterative personification of the wind
"Pealing again, prolonged the roar"
symbolise the poets concern for loss of nature
"And roses filled Heaven's central gates"
here there is a sense of divinity
The style is almost Romantic in his love for nature
Man has battled with nature and the sea for centuries to farm such as the Dymchurch sea wall built by the Romans
Similar style to Wordsworth's love for nature
