Dulce Et Decorum Est Vivid Imagery
850 wordsThe Futility of Dying for a State through Poetic Devices: "Dulce et Decorum Est" and "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est" (1920) uses vivid imagery primarily to remove any romantic or patriotic idea that it is sweet to die for one's country. Randall Jarrell's "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" uses ambiguity to compare the death for the state to an abortion. Each poem presents the death of a man for his country, though with contrasting poetic devises. Th...

All the while Wagoner takes his ...

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
851 wordsYour memories are your treasures, an accumulated amount of wealth that under extreme conditions remind you of the past and define the present, if it be good or bad. A picture for example, is a frame captured in the moving animation of time and is frequently regarded as being worth a thousand words. If one single frame, one dimension, one moment, something so short it cant even be expressed by time, be valued as a thousand words. Then take into consideration a memory, something which takes into a...

Literature Of Lord Alfred Tennyson
1,568 wordsIn any genre of expression, he who possesses the ability of variance, will poses the hearts of many. Meaning in any art form, from the majestic impressionist paintings of Degas, to the masterful written works of Lord Alfred Tennyson, one must possess the ability to vary or change their style in order to relate to the masses.

Robert Delight In Disorder
915 wordsRobert Herrick's Delight In Disorder When you read Delight in Disorder, you involuntarily come to conclusion that all words used by the author are placed in such a way that they make an unforgettable impression on the reader.

It seems that it is not the gir...

Princeton Princeton University Cambridge Cambridge University
4,245 wordsColeridge and the Explosion of Voice Coleridge is so often described in terms which are akin to the word, explosive, and by all accounts he was at times an unusually dynamic, charismatic and unpredictable person. His writings themselves could also be termed explosive merely from their physical form; a fragmented mass, some pieces finished but most not, much of his writing subject to procrastination or eventual change of mind. Today I want to address a moment in his life which produced, as Richar...

Only where love and need are one, And the work is play for mortal stakes, Is the deed ever really done? Frost-? Two Tramps in Mud Time? For Robert Frost it seemed that the deed of writing and interpreting his poetry never ended.

Shakespeare Plays Anne Hathaway
2,852 wordsWilliam Shakespeare is himself a man of mystery. Many facts myths exists about him, as if to say he had many chapters in his life. A complete, authoritative account of Shakespeare's life is lacking, and thus much supposition surrounds relatively few facts that are known. It is commonly accepted that he was born in 1564, and it is known that he was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. He is perhaps the best known English playwright and poet, recognized in much of the world as the greate...

Shakespeare Plays Understanding Of Human Nature
4,539 wordsAlthough the precise date of many of Shakespeare? s plays is in doubt, his dramatic career is generally divided into four periods: (1) the period up to 1594, (2) the years from 1594 to 1600, (3) the years from 1600 to 1608, and (4) the period after 1608. Because of the difficulty of dating Shakespeare? s plays and the lack of conclusive facts about his writings, these dates are approximate and can be used only as a convenient framework in which to discuss his development. In all periods, the plo...

Jonathon Swift wrote this passage as an opening to his famous essay A Modest Proposal. The proposal reflects his opinion and criticism on the poor people of Ireland.

Emily Dickinson Poetry Quot Dickinson
4,482 wordsYVOR WINTERS The problem of judging [Emily Dickinson's] better poems is much of the time a subtle one. Her meter, at its worst that is, most of the time a kind of stiff sing-song; her diction, at its worst, is a kind of poetic nursery jargon; and there is a remarkable continuity of manner, of a kind nearly indescribable, between her worst and her best poems.

The Self is indeed separate, isolated; it has renounced party and ...

4,040 wordsPeter Baker The details of this poem are so unassuming that they may easily be missed. The young woman is not in a negligee, she is " in negligee. " One also must do a sort of double-take to figure out how the speaker could know this if she is behind the walls of a house. Though the standard line on Williams is that he freezes moments of perception (language used to render perceptive instants), this poem, while apparently simple, utilizes a three-part temporal framework.
