उत्तर

The lines, ‘And the sea, which appears to have changed less’ depict that the sea has stayed the same over the years. It has not changed at all.

These lines suggest a sharp contrast to the mortal human life. Human life is transitory and temporary whereas the sea symbolizes permanence, immortality, and eternity. The poet makes use of the phrase ‘terribly transient feet’ to highlight the ephemeral nature of human life.
