Explanation:

The lines "He began to cough discreetly near it, but the nose paid him not the least attention." show that he is not ready to speak directly to the nose at the beginning and later when he does he receives a very despective and arrogant answer from the nose, he also used very respectful word to refer to the nose "Honourable sir," said Kovaloff at last, plucking up courage, "honourable sir."

waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.

cascading and caressing each grain of sand,

a warm embrace between sea and land.

high above, a seagull soars high.

wings of purity it spreads to fly.

battling high against darkened cloud,

in a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

beneath, the sand is soft and warm.

sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.

a passionate battle between calmness and rage,

a new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

i listen again to the whispering waves,

music of nature calming and brave.

its power unknown, its stillness untamed,

mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
