.... dissimilar. In the poem when she says "We passed the school where children played ,We passed the the fields of blazing grain," shows her use of Idealisation of Nature.Bryants whole poem is Idealisation of nature, by choosing but one sentence would be cutting the poem short.By both authors using the same romantic element is just another example of how they are similar. Thanatopsis and Because i could not stop for Death,are somewhat dissimilar , for instance when in Dickinsons poem 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 dif ....

.... the lovers to death. The speaker compares his parting from his lover to the parting of the soul from a virtuous man at death. According to the speaker, “virtuous men pass mildly away” (line 1) because the virtue in their lives has assured them of glory and reward in the afterlife; hence, they die in peace without fear and emotion. He suggests that the separation of the lovers be like this separation caused by death. In the second stanza the speaker furthers his comparison for a peaceful separation. “So let us melt, and make no noise” (line 5) refers to the melting of gold by a goldsmith or alchemist. When gold is melted it does not sputter and is therefore quiet. The ....

.... throughout history have striven to overcome their mortality by leaving something of themselves behind -- evidence of their existence. The subject of Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" is an ancient king who shared this common desire, but not in a common way. He not only wanted to leave behind a record of himself for future generations, he wanted his memory exalted above that of others, and even above the "Mighty" who would live after him. He did not want to give up at death the power he had wielded in life. The irony in this poem lies in the difference between what Ozymandias intends -- to hold onto the glory of his works after time takes its course with him -- and wha ....

.... on a beautiful winter evening. He is completely surrounded with feelings of loneliness. The speaker views a snow-covered field as a deserted place. "A blanker whiteness of benighted snow/ With no expression, nothing to express". Whiteness and blankness are two key ideas in this poem. The white symbolizes open and empty spaces. The snow is a white blanket that covers up everything living. The blankness symbolizes the emptiness that the speaker feels. To him there is nothing 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 symbolize pe ....

.... that would have filled up a piece of prose has to be cut, and leaves a much clearer, less cluttered version of his feelings. Often, he has to sum up in one line of the poem what he would normally have written a paragraph or more on. For example, "Shake hands forever, cancle all our vows" sums up very concisely the idea of the break being forever, with no possibility of a reconciliation, whilst also adding to the ease of understanding and therefore also to the meaning of the poem. Another constraint of the sonnet is the length of the lines themselves. In a sonnet, the rythem is always iambic pentameter, which means that there must always be ten syllables per line, with ....

.... the goal of obtaining freedom from the British Empire. Yeats uses animals in his poem that cause splashing and other disruptions to the stream. These animals represent the pivotal uprisings and revolts made by the liberty seeking Irish rebels. A horse-hoof slides on the brim, And a horse plashes within it; The long-legged moor-cocks call; Minute by minute they live: The stone’s in the midst of it all (932) Here is an example of events supporting the stone’s cause, in which the overall constancy is maintained. This constant is the underlying strive of the stone to disrupt the stream enough to cause a response that will favor the stone’s well being, that ....

.... 2 Stanza's with 3 lines each. And there are an average of 9 feet a line. The rhyme scheme is every last word in each stanza rhyme's. Some of the imagery is with sight and sound. For sight they are “Close to the sun”, “Azure world”, azure mean the blue color in a clear daytime sky. “ Wrinkled sea beneath”, and “mountain walls”. The only one that was imagery of sight & sound was “like a thunderbolt he falls”. The figures of speech are “wrinkled sea”, which means the waves in the ocean. And one simile is “like a thunderbolt he falls”, it is saying how fast a eagle dives. The poems theme is how an eagle can fly so high and dive so fast. ....

.... tradition") as "aiming outwards." These approaches find the meaning of the text in the relationship of its images to other texts" (40). Riffaterre argues for a more internal reading of the poems. Riffaterre emphasizes the importance of the relationships between words as opposed to their "corresponding realities" (40). For example, he states that the "flower or the fruit is a variant of the worm's dwelling constructed through destruction. Thus, as a word, worm is meaningful only in the context of flower, and flower only in the context of worm" (41). After Riffaterre's reading and in terpretation of the poem, he concludes that "The Sick Rose" is composed of "polariz ....
