Read the first stanza of "the tide rises, the tide falls." the tide rises, the tide falls, the twilight darkens, the curlew calls; along the sea-sands damp and brown the traveller hastens toward the town, and the tide rises, the tide falls. why does the poet most likely use the words "damp and brown" to describe the sands?

Explanation:

Probably because there are no sands but some kind of brown boulder rather than fluffy white sand. Also perhaps the weather was rainy and humid.

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
