The Convergence of the Twain

This poem is to tell the loss of the Titanic and how it had sunk. The Titanic was a large ocean-liner that was supposedly unsinkable from its sheer size. However passing through the ocean, it had struck an iceberg and sank, killing two thirds of its passengers. The Titanic was a magnificent ship “Deep from human vanity” (1076). The elegance of the ship was incomparable to any ship in its day; everything about this ship gave the creators a pride close to those who created computers. However the ship was under the spell of the “Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything” (1076). Soon the “unsinkable” ship sinks from an iceberg. Before there were no radar like today, only people on post looking out into the sea. They knew icebergs were out there but had no way of maneuvering around them in time if they had ever come close to one, especially in the dark ocean.
