A Lord Byron Poem:

Apostophe to the Ocean.

In this poem, George creates the illusion of man versus nature. This is done by the complete overwhelming force of the water-the ocean in the story. The story tells of how "Man marks the Earth with ruin-his control stops with the shore"(Gordon 765).

Romantic Elements displayed in the poem Apostrophe to the Ocean:

• Nature- Nature is used throughout the story to show how mankind is mistreating it. He also uses this element as the ocean to show how man can no defeat nature. This being that nature will one day overpower man.
• Emotion- Emotion is used throughout the story
• Imagination- Imagination is used throughout the story to illustrate how the human race should be extinguished by nature.

Apostrophe to the Ocean Analysis:

Lord Byron's impression painting

• Byron uses a one-way conversation to converse with the reader that man kind is destroying the earth and that nature must retaliate.
• Byron also uses this story to show that the ocean is something that man will never be able to discover fully.
• The story is used in another way being that man should be destroyed for the destruction of the planet.

This picture describes Lord Byron by showing how the human race was destroying the planet, which is what he told the ocean in his poem "The Apostrophe of the Ocean."
