What is the theme of Thomas Hardy's "The Convergence of the Twain"?

The fragility of life
The devastation of war
The cycle of time
The power of nature

The correct answer is: The power of nature

The theme of "The Convergence of the Twain" is not the fragility of life or the devastation of war. While these topics are relevant to the poem, they are not the central theme. The cycle of time is also not the main theme as the poem focuses more on the power of nature and its ability to overcome human endeavors. Through the comparison of the sinking of the Titanic, a man-made structure, with the enduring power of nature represented by the ocean, the poem ultimately conveys the message of the insignificance of human accomplishments in the face of nature's force. Therefore, the theme of this poem is the power of nature.
