Poetry: Always And Forever
.... 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 questions being revealed,
I promise you that I will always love you
And I never meant to hurt you.
I know you love me,
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in your touch,
I promise I will never forget it.
For out of everything in my life I have earned and acquired,
Your l .....

Analysis Of "13 Ways Of Looking At A 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
the point of view of the blackbird wondering why the men of Haddam only
imagine golden birds instead of realizing the value of the common blackbird.
At this time, he makes the connection that in seeing and knowing the
blackbird it becomes a part of himself. When he says in the eighth stanza “
I know noble accents And lucid, in .....

Analysis Of Frost's "Desert Places" And "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening"
.... 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 nature and it is also a part of a bigger picture.
The speaker is so alone inside that he feels that he is not a part of
anything. Nature has a way of bringing all of her parts together to act as
one. Even the animals are a part of this wintery scene. "All animals are
smothered in their lairs,/ I am too absent-spirited to c .....

Analysis Of "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"
.... 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 slow down as Dickinson writes, "We paused before a House that
seemed / A Swelling of the Ground-." The reader is given a feeling of life
slowly ending. Another way in which Dickinson uses the form of the poem to
convey a message to the reader occurs on line four as she writes, "And
Immortality." Eunice Glenn believes that .....

Beowulf And Hrothgar: Anglo-Saxon Ideal Code Of Conduct
.... 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 trust their ruler, and through his generosity and strong trust
in good, Hrothgar displays the ideal code of conduct for an Anglo-Saxon
king.
Another epic hero that has qualities that follow the Anglo-Saxon
code of conduct is Beowulf. This warrior, known to be the “strongest man
alive,” leaves for a heroic journey when he hea .....

A Prose Analysis On Milton's "Sonnet XIX"
.... 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 into the darkness.
Line seven, "Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?" describes the
limitations and burdens of a person who has lost his sense of place in life.
Obviously, Milton is making a reference to his blindness in relation to
line seven. Line seven implies that once the usefulness of a man has
diminished, then i .....

A Study Of Wordsworth's Poetry
.... 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 represent a time when people were more vulnerable
and exposed to nature, and through adversity have learned to respect nature.
'I'd rather be / A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;' (10:TW) In the sonnet,
he contrasts nature with the world of materialism. He implies that we are
insensitive to the richness of nature, and that we may .....

Shelley's "Ode To The West Wind": Analysis
.... 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 "seeds" for it shows that
even in death, new life will grow out of the "grave." The phrase "winged
seeds" also brings images of religions, angels, and/or souls that continue
to create new life. Heavenly images are confirmed by his use of the word
"azure" which besides meaning sky blue, also is defined, in Webster's
Dictionary, .....

Beowulf: First Literary Superhero
.... his bravery and physical strength. Before, Unferth had taunted
Beowulf about his foolish bravery but when he and all the rest of the Geats
saw that Beowulf's strength and power were worth boasting about, they were
humbled. To prove Beowulf was powerful, he hung Grendel's arm, claw, and
shoulders from the rafters of the meeting hall.”No Dane doubted The victory,
for the proof, hanging high From the rafters where Beowulf had hung it, was
the monster's Arm, claw and shoulder and all.”(line 485-488)
Had Beowulf attacked Grendel with a sword, the events would not
have turned out the same. Many men before Beowulf had a .....

Beowulf - A Noble
.... with grendel showing his
nobility is not with Gredel himself but with Grendels mother. After Grendel
was killed his mother was very angry and killed a knight in king Hrothgar's
court the same way her son had. King Hrothgar was very disturbed by this
and didn't know what to do. He called for Beowolf and told him of a
dangerous swamp where Grendel and his mother lived. The king also said that
no one would go into the swamp to kill Grendel's mother. The noble Beowolf
answered Quickly "sorow not O King! I will persue this monster where ever
it may go and i will kill it". They went to the swamp and Beowolf dived
deep into the water not .....

Christian Morals In Beowulf
.... more than just a dislike for the men, the song was showing Grendel that
his ancestor was looked upon as the bad person and was therefore the
underlying concept for Grendel's rage. This was the constant reminder to
Grendel of his evil past and thus his reasoning for his actions. We learn
to see Grendel as a less than human being, but in actuality, he is a
monster who has a degree of humanity in him and that is the reason that he
is so hard for Beowulf to kill. He has the human emotion of pride which
ultimately is the cause of his downfall. While this seems to be a major
part of the story line, it can be removed and the story will on .....
