The Convergence of Twain by Thomas Hardy is a poem that I personally find very interesting. The time and detail put into this poem to create the shape and style of writing is very impressive. First off, to make sure that all stanzas will look the shape of an iceberg of a ship is very impressive. It seems that sometimes those small details can distinguish a poem from all others. These kinds of details make them memorable and very intricate the majority of the time. In particular for this poem, I found it effective because along with the gradual build of the grandeur and meeting of the two objects, the whole while we look upon stanzas that look similar to them.
Another aspect that I find interesting is the development of the way that the author describes the things made by man in comparison to the iceberg created by God. This author believes that God has destined the two to meet. This is seem in the end by line 31-32, "Till the Spinner of the Years Said 'Now!'" inferring that someone in control caused the collision. The author makes them seemed destined almost similar lovers through choice diction that would be used to describe the way a couple would eventually come together.
