The ocean has had a very significant role in poetry since the dawn of poetry itself. It’s easy to see why. The ocean — both wild and calm, dangerous and beautiful — is a made up of contradictions and mystery. Ocean poems can not only be dedicated to capturing the heart of sea, but to metaphors for love and trauma, among many other things. More than that, the ocean has played a role in the history of many cultures, making it a setting that is both intimately personal, and vastly universal.

Unsurprisingly then, poetry about the ocean takes many shapes. From a simple contemplation of the sea to a reflection of our own lives. Here’s a list of some of these brilliant ocean poems starring the sea.

“My soul is full of longing
“My soul is full of longing
for the secret of the sea,
for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”

Usually, ‘the sea’ is used as a symbol in literature to represent life and its hardships.

The sea, with its daunting width and depth, simply stands for life itself. It may be quite calm, but it become raging and even deadly in an instant, with the waves representing the sudden obstacles life throws our way.

what I find to be the most important parallelism between the sea and life in general is the unpredictability of both. A sudden change in weather brings upon giant waves that make it impossible to swim forward, and the only solution is to go back to shore, much like a sudden obstacle in life makes it impossible to move forward and the only solution is to go back a few steps.

“The old man and the sea” may be the most famous novel that uses the sea as a central symbol for life itself. The point of course is to not give up, and keep going, even if ultimately it doesn’t give you what you worked so hard to achieve.

But when I came for admission at Department of English at that time further this same question asked by Barad sir in written entrance exam that what is literature? And I also wrote the same definition that “Literature is mirror of Society” and which I learned in B.A. but that is the half truth that basic fact I learned during my Master degree of Arts under the guidance of Dr.Dilip Barad. In M.A. the “Real journey of learning literature” began and specially sir taught us that how literature also connect with today’s world and that process of learning literature is very fruitful for me. Now I know that literature has no boundary. It can be anything. There are many definitions of literature and various layers of meanings also. It depends on readers and individualism. To understand and reading literature under the guidance o Dr. Dilip Barad is precious occurrence for me which I couldn't learn in my B.A. Even though i am studying literature since five years, texts and theories which i've studied in M.A has affected & shaped me more.

Some literature gave some aesthetic delight or pleasure but When I studied ‘The White Tiger’ by Arvind Adiga at that time I read that The White Tiger is “once disturbing as entreating ”. So this types of literature give some kind of restless felling because writer like Adiga presents the Zeitgeist of time and real representation of India, he questioned on our system also. Adiga portrayed the X-ray image of Indian society. He criticized religion also and that’s why he said “Monkey god”. So literature also disturbed or break our blind faith also.

Means literature mirror not of society but of own self. Now I can understand better my all texts of B.A. through some different angle and I can apply some theories and criticism. So here I remember my graduation text that is ‘Dr. Jakyll & Mr. Hyde’ that how that novel presents the reality of our inner self or dual nature of human being.

‘Harry Potter’ taught me that ‘Make your own choice’ and work for it. The book like ‘Frankenstein’ by Marry Shelly provides the opportunity to think on what is real Monster? How beautifully she gave the unique end of the novel and give justices to Monster, because human being become like Monster.

Self help books like One Night @ Call Center, The White Tiger give the new concept like ‘Amoral’ not moral or immoral. This is the new morality of youth. Because literature and morality don’t get along. They’re enemies. And you have to respect literature if you believe in freedom.

Literature always welcomes both criticizers as well as supporters; I prefer to find out for myself what I want to be rather than walking on the trodden path which people have traveled from the ages.Last but not the least, I would like to quote few lines from Robert Frost’s poem that is “Road Not Taken”, which is one of my favourite poem which fascinates me to look life and Literature in a different way and the lines are-

At last but not least I can say that there are many things which I can to no with many angle it can be like your friend , mother( nature) , Soulmate , And so on ...... This is how it shaped me with my way of looking ......!
