Sonnet 18
612 Words - 3 Pages.... shining, basically a carefree day where everything is beautiful. He contemplates whether or not to compare his love to this ideal day, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"(ll.1); but decides against it in his second line because he feels his love is "more lovely and more temperate"(ll. 2) during that day. He then proceeds to bombard us with images of natural nuisances such as windy days that "…shake the darling buds of May"(ll. 3); which hot weather magnified because it is coming from heaven and the seasons are changing. Shakespeare has taken the idea of a warm breezy summer day and twisted it into a sweltering day with the sun beating down on us.
However, in the l ....

Love Is Forever
431 Words - 2 Pages.... loved one. There love is one of a kind; even the loss of everything would occur in this person view of love towards their loved one. Final telling you that hell is the length that this person will go or has gone.
Poems have many ways they can be written. This poems is like how most people think poems are, rhyming and love. This poems has rhyming, repetition, a very lovely mood, some good visual 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, 1 ....

Churchgoing: Poetry Analysis
536 Words - 2 Pages.... a departure. By definition the title literally mean leaving the church. Or, the way I see it, it can mean the act of going to church. The meaning of church has left. The young people are there only because their parents taught them that this was the right thing to do. And, the older people are there out of a sense of duty. Belief is not a factor or consideration. The title is trying to portray going to church as a perfunctory task programmed into the train of thought.
To the people in this poem going to church is like grocery shopping. It is something that must be done. Everyone knows it is the right thing to do, except in this case many people do not understand the ....

Shelley's "Ode To The West Wind": Analysis
1450 Words - 6 Pages.... the individual and the natural world.
Shelley begins his poem by addressing the "Wild West Wind" (1). He
quickly introduces the theme of death and compares the dead leaves to
"ghosts" (3). The imagery of "Pestilence-stricken multitudes" makes the
reader aware that Shelley is addressing more than a pile of leaves. His
claustrophobic mood becomes evident when he talks of the "wintry bed" (6)
and "The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low/ Each like a corpse
within its grave, until/ Thine 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 la ....

Analysis Of "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"
1954 Words - 8 Pages.... precise form that Dickinson uses throughout "Because" helps convey
her message to the reader. The poem is written in five quatrains. The way in
which each stanza is written in a quatrain gives the poem unity and makes it
easy to read. "I Could Not Stop for Death" gives the reader a feeling of
forward 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 an ....

Poetry Analysis: “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death”
378 Words - 2 Pages.... Catholics who were directly related to the Air Force. These people had there own tartan, or color for their kilts that they wore. The different tartan colors represented different groups of people. The “Kiltartan poor,” exemplifies the Kiltartan people, who are unfairly ruled citizens of Ireland, who are poor because the do not have their own country. He then tells how no outcome of the war would do any harm to Britain, The Irish were the only ones with something to lose. And, that nothing would make the Irish forget the war. They would never be as happy as they were before they fought. Yeats’ then writes “Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor ....

Porphyrias Lover
903 Words - 4 Pages.... weak for all her hearts endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free
From Pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me forever."
I think this means that she is too egotistical to give up her easy and luxurious lifestyle for her Lover and after they make love she would happily return home to her husband, and leave her Lover alone. I think that although she does love her Lover she is too weak to give up this other man. I feel that Porphyria is definitely in love with him, but seems to be too weak to act seriously on her feelings. Porphyria traveled at night in a storm to meet her Lover which shows that she is certainly interested and devoted to him.
I also ....

The Love Song Of J. Alfred Prufrock: The Pitiful Prufrock
1293 Words - 5 Pages.... the poem.
This dreamlike quality is supported throughout the poem with the "yellow fog"
that contributes to the slowed-down-etherised feeling of the poem. Time and
perception are effectively "etherised" in this poem. It is almost as if the
poem is a suspended moment of realization of one man's life, "spread out against
the sky". The imagery of the patient represents Prufrock's self-examination.
Furthermore, the imagery of the "etherised patient" denotes a person waiting for
treatment. It 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 ....
