Robert Browning's poem “Meeting at Night” is the story of a man in love with a woman. The man travels a long journey to see this woman who is so dear to his heart. Robert Browning expresses the speaker's feelings in "Meeting at Night" by using imagery to passionately describe the surroundings. The diction used by Robert Browning is quite interesting. Only once in the poem does the author use a word suggesting that he is writing in the first person. The first person word appears in the fifth line when the author says, “As I reach the cove pushing the bow.” The poem would not be as effective if Browning had continually used words such as “I” and “my.” Without these words, the poem is able to draw the reader in, he or she is able to feel what the speaker is feeling and relate it to their own life rather than being interested in someone else's . The mood and tone of the poem both come from the images that are displayed. Staging such a beautiful scene for the audience creates a passionate and loving feeling. The passion of the poem is manifested through scenes like the “warm, sea-scented beach” and the “fiery curls” of the waves. Warmth is something that people often associate with a feeling of love. The reader can pick up on the theme of love throughout the poem even though the lover is only mentioned in the last line of the poem. When the two lovers meet and there is a "blue jet of a lit match", it shows the feeling of daring that the two have. This shows what they will go through to see each other, which then reinforces the passion of the poem. Browning also uses imagery to simply tell the story. When the speaker begins with “the gray sea and the long black land,” he is telling the reader that it is probably nighttime. "The little frightened waves that jump" s...... middle of paper ...... Literally, the speaker is simply traveling at night to see his lover. However, this poem can be interpreted in a deeper meaning. Life will always bring you obstacles to overcome and goals that you want to achieve. When someone is looking for someone to love, it often takes time. The speaker had to go through a lot of loneliness and hardship before he was able to find the woman he wanted to be with. Robert also had to overcome more obstacles since Elizabeth's father would not allow them to see each other. Robert Browning uses his great skill of romantic sensitivity. The reader learns that you will encounter obstacles in every area of ​​your life and that we must work hard to get to the part that we enjoy. The reader will be captivated by all the passion that emerges from this poem. Browning was able to use imagery to not only tell the story, but also to show the speaker's feelings..
