Which lines from matthew arnolds "Dover Beach" beat conveys a tone of serenity?

Answers

I'm a big fan of Matthew Arnold, including the poem Dover Beach. The first line actually conveys serenity: "The sea is calm tonight." More examples of serenity in the first stanza are as follows (slashes indicate line breaks):
"the cliffs of England stand, / glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay."
"Begin, and cease, and then again begin, / With tremulous cadence slow,  and bring / The eternal note of sadness in."

In the third stanza, you can find examples of serenity in the following:
"But now I only hear / Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, / Retreating, to the breath / Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear / And naked shingles of the world."

In the fourth stanza, you can find examples of serenity in the following:
"The world, which seems / to lie before us like a land of dreams"

Hope this helps.

A: "The Sea is calm tonight."

complex mythology has beenbuilt up around the American Revolution: it is a national story of greatsignificance to the way the United States views itself. But the mythologyis just that - a mythology. Contrary to the picture presented in Americanprimary schools, the Americans were not a separate, turkey-eating people,subjugated by the cruel, tyrannical and essentially foreign British.In fact, many colonists thought of themselves as British. Historians acceptthat the American Revolution had a wide variety of motives and causes: theseincluded slightly differing political traditions, the economic interestsof both parties, the trading interests of those directly or indirectly involvedin transatlantic commerce, the large debt Britain had accumulated in thewake of the Seven Years War, and a fair amount of mutual misunderstandingas well.

The British colonies had been around for 150 years in the1760s - Virginia was the first to be founded in 1606. By 1763 a sizablespread of land had been carved out for Britain, and the colonies were prospering.Most importantly, the Seven Years War had just finished, leading to a completewithdrawal from the American mainland on the part of France, and, for theSpanish, losses of all but a rump of formerly French holdings west of Florida.The two great territorial rivals of the British colonies had been removedas a threat. The future looked bright and secure for the Americans, withthe prospect of unlimited westward expansion held back only by the Britishresponse to Indian raids, the Proclamation Line along the Appalachians whichprevented further settlement of the continent's interior.

The 13 mainland colonies between South Carolina and Maine,in particular, had grown from British settlements established for trade andprestige, highly dependent on the motherland, into semi-autonomous states.The 10 other colonies were in a very different situation, with small whitepopulations almost exclusively growing sugar for sale to Britain in the Caribbeancolonies, a very limited population with underdeveloped civil governmentcollected in small areas of Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia little more thana military outpost.[1] It is no accident that it was the aforementioned 13 colonies[2] thatrebelled so yeah
