Ek onthou ons het op skool die gedig Dover Beach behandel, en ek kon nie help om terug te dink daaraan toe ons op die ferry oor die Engelse kanaal gegaan het nie.
~I remember we studied the poem Dover Beach in high school, and I couldn't help thinking of this while on the ferry across the English Channel! ~
Poem: Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold (1867)
The sea is calm tonight, The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,
Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.
Come to the window, sweet is the night air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again begin,
With tremulous cadence slow, and bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
