Wishing For Closure On A Welsh Shore Comments

I'm so glad this was recommended to me by G.O. Besides the metaphors large and small I love the sounds here; the washing to and fro of the waves within the rhythms of the lines and the soft swishing sounds - the alliteration - which comes across so naturally. Also, you stand so firmly in the scene. A real pleasure, Vincent. - Linda

Well-drawn visuals, Vincey. Very well-drawn. There are indeed some mighty fine lines here. SPELLINGS: REST (not 'west' surely? ! - '...the west will wait...') and 'streTched' at the end. (You don't mind me bringing these errors to your attention do you, Vincey?) Best, Gina.

'The battle of beauty and dismay/burns these eyes/on this stone streched bay'. I hear you, Vincent. Beautifully expressed sad truth.

'The battle of beauty and dismay', fine phrase. Atmospheric and sad. Somehow reminds me of Matthew Arnold's 'Dover Cliffs.'
