"The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore"
"Dover Beach" invokes an image of waves crashing on a beach, in a cycle from the beginning of time until the end of time. And these waves have stayed close to the shore all of that time. This is compared to the faith of humanity. So, While the waves have stayed close to the ocean, people have drifted closer and farther from their faith, as they reach for other monetary goals. So, they grow farther from God. It is important to not let those such vein needs get in the way of finding and connecting with God. But, as the tides go in and out, sin, and forgiveness can strengthen or weaken our relationship with god. And, when we have faith, it is that much easier to reconnect with God when, we do stray off.
