Trying to make a statement...

To me, the poem The Convergence of the Twain by Thomas Hardy is pretty insensitive.  It talks about the sinking of the Titanic and was actually published shortly after the event.  The poem talks about the ship, saying that its vanity was of little value and contrasting it with the indifferent ocean.  Obviously the luxurious ship focused too much on appearance, as the fate of its passengers are well known.  However, the Hardy doesn't stop there.   He says, "Till the Spinner of the Years / Said 'Now!' And each one hears. / And consummation comes, and jars two hemispheres (lines 31-33)."  He basically is saying that it was the ship's destiny to sink.  They should have seen it coming, and the focus on appearance was at fault.  Now, the jewels  "lie lifeless" on the ocean floor, having given no comfort to the families of those who lost their lives.  I agree with Hardy, I think he has a point, but did he really have to publish this days after the incident?
