Patrick Kavanagh’s poetry is fascinating‚ universal and enthralling. I think the imagery is powerful and cinematic also.

The Poem “Dover Beach” is a dramatic monologue of thirty-seven lines‚ divided into four unequal sections or “paragraphs” of fourteen‚ six‚ eight‚ and nine lines. In the title‚ “Beach” is more significant than “Dover‚” for it points at the controlling image of the poem. On a pleasant evening‚ the poet and his love are apparently in a room with a window affording a view of the straits of Dover on the southeast coast of England‚ perhaps in an inn.
