"The Convergence of the Twain"

In the poem "The Convergence of the Twain" by Thomas Hardy, the speaker utilizes eleven different sections to speak of the Titanic and the iceberg's collision. Both objects are given life through anthropomorphism. The poet describes the Titanic as a woman, and the Iceberg takes on a masculine persona. While constructing the Titanic, the creators attempt to form a ship without any imperfection. The ship grew "in stature, grace, and hue" (line 23, 778). The creators boasted that she is unsinkable, and word rose quickly of its great voyage across the ocean. However, they could not foresee the iceberg's birth and life. The sea begins to shape its life until the fateful day when they cross paths. It traveled to the destination stealthily. The "consummation" has ended when they collide. The two find their other half, and their fate has been fulfilled.
