Emily Dickenson And The Theme Of Death
.... is the Hour of Lead--
Remembered, if outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow--
First--Chill--then Stupor--then the letting go--"
The innovative diction in this passage creates an eerie atmosphere all by itself.
The effect of this passage is reminiscent of the famous macabre monologue at
the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller. Dickenson also excellently portrays the
restlessness of the mourners in this following passage:
"The Feet, mechanical, go round--
Of Ground, or Air, or .....

Essay Interpreting "One Art" By Elizabeth Bishop
.... realms I owned."
Since she could not own, much less lose a realm, the speaker seems to be
comparing the realm to a large loss in her life. Finally, the statement in the
final quatrain "Even losing you" begins the irony in that stanza. The speaker
remarks that losing this person is not "too hard" to master. The shift in
attitude by adding the word "too" shows that the speaker has an ironic tone for
herself in her loss or perhaps her husband or someone else close to her.
Language and verse form show in "On .....

Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress": The Essence Of Time
.... the phases of time in an attempt to frighten her
into having sex with him.
All three stanza's in the poem represent a different time frame. The
first gives his mistress a feeling of unconditional love. He leads her to
believe he would give all he has to her as long as time will permit. During
the second stanza, Marvell plays on her fear of getting old. He warns her that
her beauty isn't everlasting and that she will end up unhappy alone if she
doesn't give in. Marvell's use of optimum time, t .....

Humanity's Fall In The Garden Of Eden In Paradise Lost
.... does not clarify it by stating it outright. Milton
definitely portrays Satan's evil in Book four by asserting that Satan is hell
and that evil is his good because good has been lost to him. (Bk. 4, lines 75,
108-110). Satan's moral state further decays in Book nine as detailed in a
soliloquy at the beginning of the book by Satan. Satan recognizes his descent
into bestiality after once being in contention with the gods to sit on top of
the hierarchy of angels. He is unhappy with this "foul descent" and .....

Analysis Of The Poem "The Soldier" By Rupert Brooke
.... extremely strong and persuading. One image
is the line "Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam." This line
evokes images of a beautiful woman cherishing and caressing the man who stands
at her side. Another line is "Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home."
This line creates a feeling of tranquillity and a unity with nature.
Another line that evokes a feeling of peace and happiness is, "Her
sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day." Without such strong images, the
poem would probably .....

Sharpio's "Auto Wreck": The Theme Of Death
.... in the poem help to
suggest these other meanings by clearly stating what is being felt by the
speaker and the crowd around the accident. By stating clearly and vividly the
emotions of the scene, it is easy for the reader to identify the theme itself,
and also to identify with it.
In the first stanza, the speaker describes the ambulance arriving on the
scene more so than the actual scene itself. The ambulance is described using
words such as "wings", "dips", and "floating", giving the impressio .....

A Comparison And Contrast Of Love In Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate
.... 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 Tension's In Memorial A. H. H.
.... little for our existence.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson was painfully aware of the implications of
such a universe, and he struggled with his own doubts about the existence
of God. We glimpse much of his struggles in the poem In Memorial A. H. H.,
written in memory of his deceased friend, Arthur Hallam. The poem seemed
to be cathartic for Tennyson, for through its writing he not only found an
outlet for his grief over Hallam's death, but also managed to regain the
faith which seemed at times to have abandoned .....

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"
.... 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 to .....

Beowulf And Hrothgar: Anglo-Saxon Ideal Code Of Conduct
.... can be seen towards Beowulf, when the king gives his thanks
for the heroic deeds of the warrior. Hrothgar rewards Beowulf with
priceless material as he says to the warrior, “You shall lack no earthly
riches I can offer you.” The people of the land also trust their king, who
holds a strong belief in God. In the scene where Hrothgar celebrates
Grendel's death, he holds the monsters hand as he says, “Let us give thanks
at once to God Almighty for this sight.” The followers of the king both
respect and .....
