Bradbury

I think Bradburry uses the poem Dover Beach because of how it symbolizes what kind of world everyone is living in at this time period.

"Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems----THis is saying that the world that they live in today seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,-----------amazing and wonderful but really this is a horrid place
So various, so beautiful, so new,-----They have various Tv shows
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,-- the people watching these tv shows arn't actually
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; happy or loved
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night."
