From “Dover Beach” by Matthew Arnold Ah, love, let us be true To one another! For the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Which feelings are evoked by the description of the world?


romanticism and idealism

anger and turmoil

beauty and hope

pain and isolation
