Weegy: "Dover Beach," written in 1876 by Matthew Arnold. [ Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night. The world is a confusing and hostile place.-best characterizes Arnold's view of the world.
