What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal. Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean-roll
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain
Man marks the earth with ruin-hls control
Stops with the shore: upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain
A shadow of man's ravage, save his own,
When, for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths, with bubbling groan-
What is the effect of the underlined simile?
1. It depicts the dark beauty of the ocean, comparing the dazzling waters to the sparkle of a single drop of rain.
2. It symbolizes the shallowness of human beings, comparing them unfavorably to all of the beauty and life contained in the ocean's
waters.
3. It compares the passage of time to the depths of the ocean to emphasize the length of time it takes for a fleet of ships to cross the
ocean.
O 4
It underscores the insignificance of humans, showing how powerless and inconsequential they are when compared to the vastness
of the ocean
