A Great Analysis of Beach Burial- By Kenneth Slessor

Beach burial (Kenneth Slessor)- Analysis

Softly and Humbly to the Gulf of Arabs,

The convoys of perfectly sailors come;

At night they sway and wind in the waters far under,

But original light rolls them in the foam.

Between the sob and clubbing of the gunshot Someone,

it get holdms, has time for this,

To beak them from the shallows and bury them in burrows

And tread the gritstone upon their nakedness;

And each cross, the driven lay on the line of tidewood,

Bears the last signature of men,Written with such perplexity,

with such bewildered pity,The words choke as they begin -Unknown seaman - the ghostly pencil Wavers and fades, the royal drips,

The breath of the wet season has process their inscriptions

As blue as drowned mens lips,Dead seamen, kaput(p) in search of the same landfall,Whether as enemies they fought,Or fought with us, or neither

; the sand joins them together,Enlisted on the other front.

Although not blatantly obvious at first, Kenneth Slessors emotive and poignant poem Beach burial is a poem concerned with raising the awareness of national identity.



at once I found this hard to believe at first - For me to be able to use this poem, (as it has been my one of my favourites for years) I though that for it to take hold ANYTHING to do with national identity I would ca-ca had to use my creative ability to dissect and warp aspects of the poem that COULD have something to do with national identity if the poet had actually chosen to write about national identity. Basically a chew of windbagging- and as much I was looking forward to see how great my powers of persuasion were I finally realised that they wouldnt be necessary. I realised that even though Slessors Beach Burial doesnt ramble on about the Australian lifestyles...
