Which themes match the given lines from the poem “Dover Beach” by Matthew Arnold?
Pairs
Upon the straits; on the French coast, the light
Gleams and is gone;
Ans: The loss of faith

Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled
Ans: support and certainty of faith

Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.
Ans: exposes the surrows of the people

Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
Ans: helpless and lacking the certainity of faith
Correct!

In "Dover Beach," writer Matthew Arnold expounds on the impact science has had on religion. Not some time before the poem's distribution, Charles Darwin distributed On the Origin of Species, in which he archived his investigations on evolution. Arnold's sonnet is perused as a record of the conflict among science and religion.

The poem opens on a naturalistic scene. The speaker remains on the precipices of Dover Beach, looking out at the grandness of nature.

Pity sneaks in, and the speaker is helped to remember how later logical disclosures have everlastingly changed how we consider nature and, in this way, our place in it. This brings science and confidence into strife.

The poem ends on a dim note, expressing that there is no bliss or love or light and that all the philosophy and logical hypothesis on the planet can't make life significant if there is no love.
