Analysis Of Keat's "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" And "On Seeing The Elgin Marbles"
.... he never was able to comprehend their true serene nature until
reading man's wondrous words. This narration explains that though these were
sights well visited , their beauty and Keats imagination kept them alive.
Having read Chapman's translation til dawn with his teacher, he was so moved he
wrote this his first great poem and mailed it by ten A.M. that day.
In On Seeing the Elgin Marbles for the First Time, the description of his
experiences overflows with depression and experience. As the po .....

Coleridge's "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
.... God across to the reader and if the reader
chooses not to believe the story behind the poem then they will not understand
the effect of the point of the tale. Coleridge's main point in writing the
story was to get people to understand forgiveness by understanding the poem.
The Mariner in the poem is telling his tale to a "Wedding Guest" who has
no choice but to listen and to believe. The "Wedding Guest" in the poem
represents "everyman" in the sense that "everyone" is to be at the marriage of
the Ma .....

The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock: The Pitiful Prufrock
.... life, "spread out against
the sky". The imagery of the patient represents Prufrock's self-examination.
Furthermore, the imagery of the "etherised patient" denotes a person waiting for
treatment. It seems this treatment will be Prufrock's examination of himself and
his life. Prufrock repeats his invitation and asks the reader to follow him
through a cold and lonely setting that seems to be the Prufrock's domain. The
imagery of the journey through the city is described as pointed to lead the
reader ( .....

exploring nature. Bruce Wayne on the other hand invents himself a new identity
that differs in every way from the preset mold into which he was born.

upset with the society around him. ŇThen loathed he in his native land to dwell,
which seemed to him more lone than Eremite's sad cell.Ó Childe Harold is
extremely miserable with the societyin which he is forced to live. He feels so
isolated that he compare .....

Maxine Kumin And Her Poetry
.... In this poem, Maxine Kumin, uses
plants to describe her feelings, as in; “scatter like milkweed” and “pods of the
soul”. These similes show what she sees and feels.
“The Longing to be Saved”, is a dream, where her barn catches fire. “In
and out of dreams as thin as acetate.” She visualizes herself getting the
horses out, but they “wrench free, wheel, dash back”.
In, “Family Reunion”, she writes that “nothing is cost efficient here”.
Vegetables are grown on the farm, and animals are raised to be kille .....

Poet's Use Of Mockery As Diction In Poem
.... casual
language attempts to make the war seem carefree and nonchalant. The word "chap"
conveys an casual attitude towards the heroes as people. It seems to elevate
the status of the majors to a false superior position. "Scrap" makes it seems as
if the soldier's death occurred on a playground, not a battlefield. It seems to
trivialize war in general.
"And when the war is done and the youth stone dead,
I'd toddle safely home and die - in bed."
The poet's last lines give the reader an ins .....

Nature To Love Ones In Shakespeare's "My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun" And "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?"
.... the title of the poem "Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day?",
Shakespeare is debating whether or not his love one is worth being compare to a
summer day. Unlike the first poem, the poet does not know what the answer is
from the title or whether it is fair to compare nature to her. However, as the
reader read through the poem he gets an answer from the poet. Just the thought
whether his loved one is worth being compared to nature gives away the poet's
assumption that nature is superior to hu .....

of life. He regards his body as a temple- a "Bare ruined choir[s]"- where sweet
birds used to sing, but it is a body now going to ruin.
In Sonnet 116, love is seen as the North Star, the fixed point of
guidance to ships lost upon the endless sea of the world. It is the point of
reference and repose in this stormy, troubled world, "an ever-fixed mark That
looks on tempests and is never shaken;..."
He personifies the comi .....

Shakespeare's Sonnet 19
.... lover grants to Time its own will: "And do whate'er
thou wilt, swift-footed Time," acknowLedging priorly that in its fleet passage
Time does "Make glad and sorry seasons. n For the first time one sees Time in
other than a destructive capacity--in its cycLical change of seasons, some Time
does "make glad" with blooming sweets. So the lover changes his epithet from
devouring to swift-footed, certainly more neutral in tone. For now the lover
makes his most assertive command: "But I forbid thee one most heino .....

Reality
.... is considered most real
By those who encounter its meaning.
To comprehend it
Requires the openness of minds thinking.
Not any of the greatest minds
Who understand science and history
Can give a definition
So clear of duplicity
As they sit pondering
On the lonely bench
The thoughts penetrate their mind
Finally, reality is clinched!

Wasted Dreams

The days come when they die
In innocence they offend
The grueling times pass by
Seeming long gone
Yet another dream dies
For my days have all gone wrong.

Wild Ride
.... sit and think of things gone past
People i've known are lost in my brain
Soon the time will come at last
No thoughts of hardship and no thoughts of pain
It seems like only yesterday I was playing outside
Running and jumping with friends all around
I was but a child with nothing to hide
But now that I look he's nowhere to be found
Now I wonder what's to become of me
The future is uncertain and clouded
People tell me that I soon will see
That my eyes will no longer be shrouded
In my youth I was my own gu .....
