When an author depicts environment or setting in prose, he/she is describing the domain or surroundings of where the tale occurs.
Explanation:
An environment or setting in prose can also be defined as the context or the backdrop where a story unfolds. Hence, it plays a very important part in establishing the personalities/back stories of the characters themselves.
The setting or environment could include a number of details. For instance:
- Direct reference to Place and/or Time: Eg. <em>"In the early winters of 1989, Samantha was living a peaceful life in the heart of Mexico."</em>
- Indirect reference to Place and/or Time: Eg. <em>"Since the evenings were warm, and the trees were bare, Tom knew that in a couple of months winter would be on its way."</em>
- The Interiors/Exteriors Description: Eg. <em>"The four walls were made of thick concrete blocks, gleaming in the dark by the torches that lined the passageway. There were shadowy figures lurking in the corners."</em>
- The Natural Habitat/Surroundings and/or the Weather/Climate: Eg. <em>"It was a cheerful sunny day, ideal for a picnic in the park. The grass was green, flowers were in full bloom, and the clouds passed in the sky like tufts of fluffy white cotton wool."</em>
A setting or environment works to weave in the elements of the narrative together. It also enables the readers to visualize the story being narrated, making it more engaging to picturize it.

Descriptive language usually includes sensory information
Both discuss their love for another; Spenser says his love will outlast the world, while Shakespeare wants to be forgotten in order to spare his love any pain.
Spenser is trying to immortalize his love, although the waves (or the natural world) wash away his words. The tide says that Spenser is being foolish. However, at the end of the poem, the final couplet adds further meaning: that nothing lasts forever -- except for their love.
Shakespeare's poem is a bit more negative. He says that after his death, his love should not mourn him. Shakespeare says he so loves the subject of the poem that he would rather be forgotten than a source of grief. The couplet adds further meaning to this idea by saying that he doesn't want his love mocked for his grief.
Thus, both poems discuss love and the passage of time; their individual messages differ.
