WWI Allusions[edit]

Should it be mentioned in the Themes and Reception section that this poem is an obvious WWI metaphor? (Distant shores, and the fact that when he returned his view of where he left was different, and that him, the veteran of the travel, was regarded as a "looney"? ... -Panther (talk) 19:04, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know it's an important aspect of most of Tolkien's work but, as you say, it's particularly evident here. I'll try to think of something to put in that addresses this - unless you'd like to do so of course? It would be good if we could get a source/reference which points out the WW1 allusions in this poem, I'm not sure much literary criticism has been done on the Sea-Bell though. Actually, I've always thought the imagery of the ending of the Sea Bell is very similar to that of Wilfred Owen's 'The Send Off' (figures returning from a traumatic experience, wandering through deserted once-familiar streets, silent and ignored).
