Question

Read the lines from Sea, rose by HD, more precious than a wet rose single on a stem you were caught in a drift what is the meaning of your caught in a drift

Roses caught in the surf along the shoreline
The rose has been discarded by someone in the sand dune
A conventional rose is floating on top of the calm
The roses being whipped wildly about the wind

Answer 1

The line "you were caught in a drift" in the poem "Sea Rose" by H.D. suggests that the rose mentioned earlier in the poem has been carried or swept away by the currents or forces of the sea. It is caught in a drift, meaning it is trapped or stranded in the movement of the water. This could symbolize the fragility and transience of beauty or the vulnerability of delicate things in the face of powerful natural forces.
