And the twains converge.

The point of "The convergence of the Twains" is to show appreciation for the Titanic, yet mourn for its loss. It speaks of the "jewels in joy designed" and how the ship was beautifully designed. It speaks of how it had noble goals and had wonderful "structure, grace, and hue." It then compares the growing of the ship to the growing of the iceberg that ended it. The iceberg and the ship were both of grand size and beauty. They were two separate beings that coincidentally crossed paths and one ended the other. The poem, though about a sad topic, does not focus on a sad message. It focuses on the slender that was in the wreck and the beauty that remained afterwards. It gives the reader a different perspective on the wreck. Though it is an unusual one, I like it better than a sad perspective.
