In "Dover Beach‚" Matthew Arnold’s use of diction and imagery reveal the overall pessimistic tone of the poem. The use of diction brings the reader toward two separate tones‚ yet they uniquely contribute to general feeling of pessimism that Matthew Arnold portrays.

It could be re-written along the lines of "The massive foam hanging over the fissured beach‚"‚ and still carry the effect‚ this event has been taking place for years‚ before man.
