The Poetry Of William Cullen Bryant And Emily Dickinson: The Theme Of Death
.... when she says "We slowly drove
he knew no haste," she is referring about death taking her away and she sees
everything on this journey.william Cullen Bryant however sees Death a little
different ,like in his poem when he says " There comes a still voice yet a few
days . and thee you will see no more,"He is saying that it will be very peaceful
and fast. That when you hear the voice, all is gone. They both had different
romantic/trancendental connections,bryant used heavy Idealisation of Mature by
saying "To him who in the love of nature holds Communion with her visible
forms."Emily Dickinson used supernatural for the fact that sh .....

Differences In "Ode On Grecian Urn" And "Sailing To Byzantium"
.... tattered coat upon a stick." (9,10) Yates
is describing a scarecrow or what you might call death. He also talks about a
maniacal bird in lines thirty and thirty-one. This is something that isn't dying
and will go on forever. These two images life and death help insure the
complexity of these poems.
The images of life and death is also repesented in Keats "Ode on a Grecian
Urn." "What leap-fringd Latin haults about they shap of deities or mortials or
both." (5,6) As you can see through reading these lines life and death are big
aspects in this poem. One the other side this poem is very different from
Sailing to Byzantium." In " .....

Analysis Of Keat's "On First Looking Into Chapman's Homer" And "On Seeing The Elgin Marbles"
.... 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 poem continues
you see his sad point of view has faded . It gives it a familiarity that hides
its true serene character. He describes how his spirit is weak (mortality) and
his wonderful memories have faded in his mind due to worries and unrest at his
coming death. It should be said death does play a key role in this poem and .....

Coleridge's "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
.... 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 curse, the killing of an Albatross - one of God's
creatures, costs the entire crew on the ship their lives yet he lives so that he .....

The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock: The Pitiful Prufrock
.... 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 (and more accurately Prufrock) to an overwhelming question. Prufrock's
description of the urban city is quite dreary: " Let us go, through certain
half-deserted streets,/ The muttering retreats/ Of restless nights in one-night
cheap hotels/ And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells;/ Streets that follow
like a tedious argument .....

Bryon's "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage": The Byronic Hero
.... Harold tells us that Childe Harold is unhappy and
upset with the society around him. ÒThen 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 compares his life to that of a hermit's. Stanza ten reads ÒIf
he had friends, he bade adieu to none.Ó This proves that Childe Harold did not
have many friends, and if he did their friendship was not highly valued. Bruce
Wayne too comes across as an extremely depressed and alone individual. He has n
×o friends in the films, excep .....

Maxine Kumin And Her Poetry
.... 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 killed. “The
electric fence ticks like the slow heart of something we fed and bedded for a
year, then killed with kindness' one bullet and paid Jake Mott to do the
butchering.”
“Waiting for the End in New Smyrna Beach, Florida”, Maxine Kumin notices
in her venture in Florida a homeless couple with a baby. In her poem she
describes .....

Poet's Use Of Mockery As Diction In Poem
.... 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 insight into the true wishes of the
soldier. The youth stone dead allow the reader to acknowledge the finality of
death and the wasted lives of the young soldiers while the old, fat men are
allowed the luxury of living to old age and then dying in their own beds.
"Toddle" is a word that not only describes the gait of the fat, ol .....

Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Politics
.... Lawrence Ferlinghetti blatantly and subtly criticized the American
democratic system and politicians.
In 1957, Ferlinghetti received his first national attention.
Ferlinghetti was arrested and brought to trial as the publisher of a collection
of obscene poetry, Howl and Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg (Alspaugh 1148).
Eventually he was cleared of the charges of “publishing and sale of obscene
writings.” Since his involvement in the obscenity trial, Ferlinghetti became
quite cynical of the government. After the trial ended, Lawrence Ferlinghetti
canceled all government grants coming to him and to any writers under his
publ .....
