Question
select the correct text in the passage.
in this excerpt from \dover beach\ by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith?
the sea of faith
was once, too, at the full, and round earths shore
lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
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.
ah, love, let us be true
to one another! for the world, which seems
to lie before us like a land of dreams,
so various, so beautiful, so new,
hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
and we are here as on a darkling plain
swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
where ignorant armies clash by night.
