520			_a"Seaward: An Elegy on the Death of Thomas William Parsons" by Richard Hovey is a poetic elegy composed in the late 19th century. It reflects on the life and death of Thomas William Parsons, a poet and translator known for his work with Dante's "Divine Comedy." This work encapsulates themes of loss, grief, and the enduring nature of the sea, serving as a meditation on the profound impact of Parsons's life and art. In this moving elegy, Hovey's verses juxtapose the serene imagery of marshes and the ocean with the starkness of death, creating a poignant tribute to Parsons. The poem vividly expresses the speaker's profound sense of loss and longing, positioning the sea as both a companion and a symbol of fate that carries away the departed. As the speaker reminisces about their shared moments and the beauty of art, they grapple with the emptiness left by Parsons's absence. The elegy ultimately serves as a heartfelt homage to a friend and fellow poet, celebrating the beauty of creativity while mourning the inevitability of death.
