Which of these inferences is best supported by the stanza below (lines 1-14)?



The sea is calm to-night.


The tide is full, the moon lies fair


Upon the straits; on the French coast the light


Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand;


Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.


Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!


Only, from the long line of spray


Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land,


Listen! you hear the grating roar


Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,


At their return, up the high strand,


Begin, and cease, and then again begin,


With tremulous cadence slow, and bring


The eternal note of sadness in.

Answer:

I do not see any answer choices, so I hope this helps.

Explanation:

This poem is about a crisis of faith.  Science is taking over and therefore, it seems to be replacing "faith".  The belief in the world of faith and religion is slipping away and it is going out like the tide does in the ocean/sea.  I read up on this some more and found it interesting that Matthew Arnold literally was able to stand and look at the straits of Dover on the English Channel.  

Cool beans.
