Read ths excerpt from “break, break, break” by alfred loryd tennyson. what is the theme of the poem?
break, break, break, on thy cold gray stones, o sea! and i would that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me. o well for the fisherman's boy, that he shouts with his sister at play! o well for the sailor lad, that he sings in his boat on the bay! and the stately ships go on to their haven under the hill: but o for the touch of a vanish'd hand, and the sound of a voice that is still! break, break, break, at the foot of thy crags, o sea! but the tender grace of a day that is dead will never come back to me.
a. life seems like the endless ocean.
b. one man's grief cannot stop progress.
