    The poem describes waves and clouds appearing ominous and threatening, as if a night of darkness and rage is coming. The orderly structure of the poem contrasts with its prediction of impending disorder - the waves seem to be thinking of doing something unprecedented to the shore, and the clouds look as if a catastrophic event is looming. This dissonance between order and disorder adds to an overwhelming sense of impending threat and destruction.

    SONNET

    Once by the Pacific


    By Robert Frost
    4waves are
    given ability
    to think

    4clouds are
    like hair blown
    over eyes,
    theres
    uncertainty,
    but it looks
    dangerous
    4ominoussounding
    words: dark
    intent, rage,
    night
    2even more
    ominous
    more than
    water broken,

    The shattered water made a misty din.


    Great waves looked over others coming in,
    And thought of doing something to the shore
    That water never did to land before.
    The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
    Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
    You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
    The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
    The cliff in being backed by continent;
    It looked as if a night of dark intent
    Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
    Someone had better be prepared for rage.
    There would be more than ocean-water broken
    Before God's last Put out the light was spoken.

    Structure is orderly; poem predicts total disorder.


    The dissonance between order and disorder adds
    to the overwhelming sense of threat.
