To begin‚ Dover Beach expresses the relationship of reality versus illusion. In Dover Beach‚ Arnold tells the readers that he want his lover and himself to be honest and more truthful to one another because Arnold know that the world is not everything it seems to be and that “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” (5‚5-9)

There’s no other place in the world where I feel the most at home than being at Long Beach Island. There you can smell the fresh‚ salty air of the ocean as the warm breeze brushes across your face.

Off in the distance you can hear the chiming of bells as the ice cream men call children of all ages to cool themselves

"Dover beach" is a beautiful poem written by a famous poet‚ Matthew Arnold; from the romantic era. The poem is melancholic and pessimistic in nature and shows human misery through the ages.
