The Works Of Edwin Robinson And Paul Simon
Number of Words: 490 / Number of Pages: 2
... man could want: power, grace, and style...And I wish I could be Richard Cory..."
Robinson and Simon dealt with subjects that were close to their hearts. What they wrote about were their uncontrollable feelings. For Robinson the feeling was described, in lines 5, 6, 7, and 8, as ,"Minniver loved the days of old when swords were bright and steeds were prancing. The vision of a warrior bold would set him dancing..." Simon expressed his frustration in lines 10, 11, 12, and 13: "...The papers print his picture almost everywhere he goes, Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at the show, And the rum ...

... the jungle may have
a soft and caring side.
We then find out the age of young Lyca, "seven summers old." At
the age of seven, a young girl must be very scared alone in the wood with
out her mother and father. William Blake also in this stanza tells how
Lyca became lost in this wilderness. Lyca, being a young and playful girl
had saw beautiful birds singing and had followed them into the jungle,
enchanted by their song.
Lyca cannot go on. She is weary from walking and needs to lay down
for a moments rest. Lyca lies under a tree, and begins to think about her
parents whom she misses so much. She ...

Criticism Of Keats' Melancholy
Number of Words: 1902 / Number of Pages: 7
... Melancholy, Gaillard explains that the original “Melancholy” was composed of four stanzas, the first of which Keats’s decided to remove before the poem was published. According to Gaillard, the original “stanza did survive in Brown’s transcripts, but many critics have made only passing references to it, avoiding discussion of the structure, language, theme and imagery of the poem as a full four-stanza work”(19). Gaillard believes that the deleted first stanza’s inclusion is very vital to the symmetry and structure to the poem. He states,
“With stanza one’s omission the poem ‘s original symmetry
is ...

Analysis Of Stephen Crane's "War Is Kind"
Number of Words: 1323 / Number of Pages: 5
... War in 1898 as a war correspondent for The New York Journal newspaper. It was during these two conflicts that he perhaps drew the conclusion that war was not a glorious thing and only the purveyor of the slaughter of young men.
His graphic description of a soldier shot from his mount in the first stanza shows his contempt for the acts of war.
Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
I found it especially disturbing, when the author addresses the grieving mate or lover that ...

Critical Analysis Of "The Indifferent" By John Donne
Number of Words: 1136 / Number of Pages: 5
... because it can
drastically change the meaning of the poem, and has therefore been debated among
the critics. While most critics believe that the audience changes from men, to
women, then to a single woman, or something along those lines, Gregory Machacek
believes that the audience remains throughout the poem as "two women who have
discovered that they are both lovers of the speaker and have confronted him
concerning his infidelity" (1). His strongest argument is that when the
speaker says, "I can love her, and her, and you and you," he first points out
two random nearby women for "her, and her ...

Love Is Forever
Number of Words: 431 / Number of Pages: 2
... imagery, and of course lines something that every poem has. I thought that the first and second line was very good visual imagery "written with a pen sealed with a kiss". It show how it really happened and was done. Through out the whole poems was a loved filled mood. Lines 13, 15, 16, and 19 all start with "I'll". Every words has something rhyming with it except the first and third line. Most of the rhyming is "you" and "true".
This poems could be used for many metaphor. I have a personal metaphor. It is comparing my love to Nancy, to the poem as its self. The poems explain exactly how i feel abou ...

Number of Words: 860 / Number of Pages: 4
... a message to a loved one and they in turn have misinterpreted that message?"
The poem begins "As virtuous men pass mildly away, And whispering their souls to go." Here the persona is trying to convey to his lover that she should deal with his leaving as though it is a death. Not a death in which she should be sad, but of a death of a man that was a very good human being who will go peacefully and calmly to heaven. Also, that she has nothing to fear because in actuality he is not dying but just going away and for her to remember that they are very much in love. But the lover sees this as the souls leavi ...

The Saginaw Song
Number of Words: 503 / Number of Pages: 2
... rhymes with ‘but I hung on like death’ on the third line. The words breath and death are dominant words that reveal a somber tone, which runs throughout the piece. In the second line, the words ‘dizzy’ and ‘easy’ are paired as sight rhymes. Although the rhyme scheme is entertaining, the late night waltz between father and son is serious.
The poem is told by a boy who remembers waltzing with his father. The first stanza reveals that the father has been drinking and that his breath ‘could make a small boy dizzy.”
Imagery is used to describe how the boy interacts with his father. He ‘hangs on lik ...

Number of Words: 533 / Number of Pages: 2
... excuse for attending to anything else. The urgency
of the moment rules. "Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the
houses? no sleepers must sleep in those beds", "Make no parley - stop for
no expostulation." "Let not the child's voice be heard, nor the mother's
entreaties, Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie
awaiting the hearses,".
In "The Arsenal at Springfield", Longfellow notes the senselessness of
war. "The cries of agony, the endless groan, Which, through the ages that
have gone before us, In long reverberations reach our own." He also
indicates that war could b ...

John Donne And The Psychology Of Death
Number of Words: 1572 / Number of Pages: 6
... author of two notable poems commemorating the death of Elizabeth Drury, the daughter of his friend and patron. . . . Generally regarded as the foremost of the metaphysical poets, Donne was always an uneven writer. His secular poems were original, energetic, and highly rhetorical, full of passionate thought and intellectual juggling. . . . His adroitness in argument and his skill at impersonating different states of mind make Donne’s poetry intense and often riddling (Ousby, 266).
Holy Sonnet #10 is certainly Donne’s most famous poem, and possibly one of the most famous in English literature. “Death b ...
