Answer:

She says the human's feet and bodies are always changing, they are fleeting and impermanent, while the sea always looks the same and seems to look unchanged.  

Explanation:

Poetess Shirley Toulson expresses her experience of watching a photograph of her mother as a child in her poem "A Photograph".

In one part she describes the image with the words:

<em>And the sea, which appears to have changed less,</em>

<em>Washed their terribly transient feet</em>

<u>This line reflects the passage of time and the stillness of nature.</u>

<u> The feet of the girls, one being her mother as a child, have changed so much over the years.</u> The girls got older and their bodies grew older, so the feet so have changed so much and to <u>exists like that only for that short moment of taking a photograph</u>. The look of the human’s body is only temporary, it changes until it finally dies and disappears from the material world, just like the poetess’s mother did.

Yet,<u> nature seems to stay the same</u> <u>– seas stay in the same place for hundreds of years, always remaining blue. </u>No matter how many people pass, how many people it touches, it looks the same to us.

<u>Therefore, the poetess compares the passage of time and how it is reflected in the human body, to how it doesn’t mean anything for nature.</u>
