Element Of God In Poetry
Number of Words: 1961 / Number of Pages: 8
... then we must rely on the protection of
our Shepherd, God. Why would Blake call us a Lamb then? Aren't we stronger
than any other animal upon this earth? I think that God would tell us "No,"
for it is He who gives us life strength, as Blake says in the next few
lines… Gave thee life & bid thee feed, By the stream & o're the mead; Gave
thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright, What strength
could man have without the gifts of God: life, food, clothing. We would
have none! And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to
Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me s ...

Coleridge's "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Number of Words: 864 / Number of Pages: 4
... 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 Mariner to life. That is, the reader is to follow, live, and participate
with the idea of the poem.
Coleridge tells of a Mariner on a ship who makes a sin against God and
therefore is cursed. This cu ...

Number of Words: 414 / Number of Pages: 2
... that he would have killed her any way, “For
though Othello has his blood from Kings his ancestry was barbarous, his
ways African his speech uncouth.” Dickinson implies how impossible their
relationship was in the simple phrase, “Overlooked I all-”, this I
interpret as how she ignored her senses. She knew it wouldn’t work yet
chose to ignore her better judgement.
Another thing that stands out is the styles that these are written
in (especially Mrs. Dickinson’s choice of style). Bishop was taking the
view of an outside party, to which thing are alway6s more clear, so his was
written in a clear, more ...

Song Of Myself: Divinity, Sexuality And The Self
Number of Words: 1236 / Number of Pages: 5
... The thoroughly intimate encounter with another individual in section five particularly expresses Whitman as a being of desire and libido.
Whitman begins his synthesis of the soul and body through sexuality by establishing a relative equality between the two. He pronounces in previous stanzas, "You shall listen to all sides and filter them from yourself," and, "Not an inch nor a particle of an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar than the rest." Here, he lays foundation for the basic egalitarianism with which he treats all aspects of his being for the rest of the poem. This equality includes no ...

A Critical Analysis Of Tension's In Memorial A. H. H.
Number of Words: 1631 / Number of Pages: 6
... 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 him. Tennyson regained and
firmly reestablished his faith through the formation of the idea that God
is reconciled with the mechanistic universe through a divine plan of
evolution, with Hallam as the ...

... of curls was shaved. The worldly wise narrator is very practical in his manner of comforting little Tom, "Hush Tom never mind it, for when your head's bare/ You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair."(7-8) Tom is quieted, yet that same night he is visited by a dream wherein thousands of other chimney sweeps like him are all locked up in black coffins. An angel arrives and sets all the boys free to laugh and play and clean themselves, "Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,/ …/ the Angel told Tom if he'd be a good boy,/ He'd have God for his father & never want joy."(17, 19-20) ...

... brought care and concern into the poem. The bright daffodils were crowded, cheerful, and energetic. When the speaker mentioned the daffodils dancing in the breeze, the poem became more lively and active. Throughout the poem, the daffodils were in such harmony with nature, being accompanied by the breeze, the stars, and the waves. The golden daffodils were so beautiful and eye-catching that the speaker takes his mind off of his depressing matters, and places it on the beauty of nature. The golden daffodils are very valuable and precious, with nothing taking their place. "Gay", "glee", "bliss ...

... real name of Clodia’s brother, P. Clodius Pulcer. Pulcer was known not only for being a violent politician, but was also rumored to have had incestuous relations with one or more of his three sisters. All three sisters, including Clodia, were known to not have strong moral characters and acted out of the class they were born into. Although there is no real proof of Lesbia being a pseudonym for Clodia, critics have agreed that this is the most likely of whom the woman had his affair with.
Even the name Lesbia has an interesting background. The name derives for the Latin word Lesbian, describing ...
