The Point Of View In "Porphyria's Lover"
.... poem a gloomy feeling.
When Porphyria arrives at the speaker's cottage, she is dripping wet.
The speaker makes it an important point to describe her after her arrival. The
description of the articles of clothing that Porphyria is wearing helps the
reader know that Porphyria is from an upper-class family. She was wearing a
cloak and shawl, a hat, and gloves. It is apparent that the speaker works for
Porphyria's family. He lives in a cottage, somewhat distant from the main house.
The cottage is cold .....

T. S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men"
.... than the poet's personality as the important
factor. Eliot saw in the French symbolists how image could be both absolutely
precise in what it referred to physically and at the same time endlessly
suggestive in the meanings it set up because of its relationship to other images.
Eliot's real novelty was his deliberate elimination of all merely connective
and transitional passages, his building up of the total pattern of meaning
through the immediate comparison of images without overt explanation of w .....

Unbroken
.... slap in the face of this world. Always restless,
searching for answers. Impulsive and inspired, writing down his thoughts.
Funny stories about Elvis and his followers, the Elvi, or dirty poetry.
Painting his visions on sheets that hang from the eaves or painting me with
psychedelic designs. It doesn't matter which. All of it makes me want him
more.
Some things I say to him are like sour notes played too often. I'm out
of tune. He always sings along. Our waltz is better than most, I suppose. We

Whitman's Democracy
.... his words. He lets all know that he
embraces the people that others have rejected, as democracy should embrace all.
These people are part of America also, and should be accepted as such. as
democracy should embrace all.
Whitman commends the many people of America in "I Hear America Singing."
He writes of the mothers, and the carpenters. He says that they all sing their
own song of what belongs to them. In this poem Whitman brings these people from
all backgrounds together as Americans. In the freedom o .....

A Comparison And Contrast Of Love In Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd To His Love" And C. Day Lewis's "Song"
.... his flock and
pastures to his love while promising her garlands and wool for weaving. Many
material goods are offered by the speaker to the woman he loves in hopes of
receiving her love in return. He also utilizes the power of speech to attempt
to gain the will of his love. In contrast, the poem "Song" is set in what is
indicative of a twentieth century depression, with an urban backdrop that is
characteristically unromantic. The speaker "handle(s) dainties on the docks"
(5) , showing that his w .....

A Critical Analysis Of "The Parting" By Michael Drayton
.... up very concisely the idea of
the break being forever, with no possibility of a reconciliation, whilst also
adding to the ease of understanding and therefore also to the meaning of the
poem.
Another constraint of the sonnet is the length of the lines themselves.
In a sonnet, the rythem is always iambic pentameter, which means that there must
always be ten syllables per line, with each second syllable being stressed.
Where the author breaks this pattern, it must obviously be for a good reason,
when the .....

Poetry: Always And Forever
.... Though both are simple I promise they are true.
Even as I write this,
I think of how to describe to you.
Something I hardly understand,
But I must tell you how I feel.
So I close my eyes,
And let my heart guide my hand.
Perhaps the tears that falls from my eyes,
Will show you my love and how much it means to me.
To me our love is everything.
I believe love will find it's way and show us the answers
To the qu .....

Analysis Of "13 Ways Of Looking At A Blackbird"
.... he
was of “three minds, Like a tree, In which there are three blackbirds.” This was
the first time he makes the connection between seeing the blackbird and him
himself metaphorically being the blackbird. He makes this connection even more
clear in the fourth stanza when he says that “A man and a woman Are one. A man
and a woman and a blackbird are one." In the sixth stanza he goes back to being
the poet observer as he watches the blackbird fly by his icy window. Again in
the next stanza he goes back to .....

Analysis Of Frost's "Desert Places" And "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening"
.... this poem.
The white sybolizes open and empty spaces. The snow is a white blanket that
covers up everything living. The blankness sybolizes the emptyness that the
speaker feels. To him there is nothing else around except for the unfeeling snow
and his lonely thoughts.
The speaker in this poem is jealous of the woods. "The woods around it
have it - it is theirs." The woods symbolizes people and society. They have
something that belongs to them, something to feel a part of. The woods has its
place in .....

Analysis Of "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"
.... movement through the second and third quatrain. For example, in line 5,
Dickinson begins death's journey with a slow, forward movement, which can be
seen as she writes, "We slowly drove-He knew no haste." The third quatrain
seems to speed up as the trinity of death, immortality, and the speaker pass the
children playing, the fields of grain, and the setting sun one after another.
The poem seems to get faster and faster as life goes through its course. In
lines 17 and 18, however, the poem seems .....

A Prose Analysis On Milton's "Sonnet XIX"
.... is death to hide" is an allusion to the biblical context of the bible.
Line three refers to the story of Matthew XXV, 14-30 where a servant of the lord
buried his single talent instead of investing it. At the lord's return, he cast
the servant into the "outer darkness" and deprived all he had. Hence, Milton
devoted his life in writing; however, his blindness raped his God's gift away.
A tremendous cloud casted over him and darkened his reality of life and the
world. Like the servant, Milton was flung .....

A Study Of Wordsworth's Poetry
.... mankind
for misdirecting its abilities. 'Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers'
(2:TW) Wordsworth also hopes that the world would find more of itself in nature,
similar to his desire for his sister in his poem, 'Lines Composed a Few Miles
Above Tintern Abbey', to gain an interest in nature. 'For this, for everything,
we are out of tune;' (8:TW) Wordsworth also makes reference to the Greek gods of
the sea in this sonnet, who are associated with the pristine nature of the world.
The gods repre .....

Shelley's "Ode To The West Wind": Analysis

becomes evident when he talks of the "wintry bed" (6) and "The winged seeds,
where they lie cold and low/ Each like a corpse within its grave, until/ Thine
azure sister of the Spring shall blow" (7-9). In the first line, Shelley use
the phrase "winged seeds" which presents images of flying and freedom. The
only problem is that they lay "cold and low" or unnourished or not elevated.
He likens this with a feeling of being trapped. The important word is "seed .....
