I Felt A Funeral In My Brain
1,043 words
Life, death, and reincarnation are portrayed in
Emily Dickinson's poem "I Felt A Funeral In My
Brain. " The use of words associated with death
gives the poem an ominous and dark karma. To add
to this karma, important words that are strong in
meaning are capitalized. At the beginning of this

sense that the speaker needs to make a choice
between a world full of trouble and pain or a
heaven that brin...

Analysis Of Anne Sexton Poem Her Kind
1,717 words
Anne Sexton was a poet and a woman, but most
importantly, she was an outcast. Subjected to
nervous breakdowns and admitted to a
neuropsychiatry hospital, Sexton must have been
all too familiar with the staring eyes and the
judging minds of the public. Just being a woman in
today's world often can be enough to degrade a
person in the public's eye, let alone being
labeled as a crazy woman. But Anne Sexton did not
let society remain unchallenged in its views. She
voiced a different opinion of women...

Lack Of Understanding Robert Lowell
840 words
Frustration's Armored Aroma Skunk Hour by Robert
Lowell and The Armadillo by Elizabeth Bishop are
two closely related poems. Both share the theme of
an animal carrying with it natural defenses, and
the image of an isolated spectator. However, there
is one important contrast between these poems: The
Armadillo portrays a creature who cannot
comprehend the events destroying the life about
it, whereas the speaker in Skunk Hour understands,
possibly too well, the events affecting its life.

T S Eliot Stanza The Speaker
1,314 words
Prayer for Tradition 9; In the poem A Song for
Simeon, T. S. Eliot uses ambiguity and religious
allusion to convey decay and death of the old
order to make room for modernity. Examining the
imagery in the poem and the tone used allows for a
better idea of what the speakers attitude is
toward these changes, and perhaps a hint of how
the author himself feels. The view the speaker
takes toward the changes he believes are to come
is one of fear. He feels threatened by the thought
of the way of li...

Emily Dickinson Fly Buzz
5,517 words
Gerhard Friedrich This poem seems to present two
major problems to the interpreter. First, what is
the significance of the buzzing fly in relation to
the dying person, and second, what is the meaning
of the double use of " see" in the last
line? An analysis of the context helps to clear up
these apparent obscurities, and a close parallel
found in another Dickinson poem reinforces such
interpretation. In an atmosphere of outward quiet
and inner calm, the dying person collectedly

Ode On A Grecian Urn Beauty Is Truth

Ode on a Grecian Urn Summary In the first stanza,
the speaker, standing before an ancient Grecian
urn, addresses the urn, preoccupied with its
depiction of pictures frozen in time. It is the
still unrevised bride of quietness, the
foster-child of silence and slow time. He also
describes the urn as a historian, which can tell a
story. He wonders about the figures on the side of
the urn, and asks what legend they depict, and
where they are from. He looks at a picture that

John Hollander If a mythical starting point for
the pastoral music of outdoor sound might be
located in the Virgilian shepherds liquid
metronome, the more complex Romantic reading of
nature demands a different sort of account. One
poem by Robert Frost, harking back to Classical
pastoral in one way, more directly invoking the
biblical garden, may serve to illustrate this: [
This is an uncharacteristically mythopeic moment
for Frost. The myth is that of the imprinting of

First Person Point Person Point Of View

Many times, the sensuality of life is lost because
of technology. It seems that as a result of
technology, life is seen differently through human
eyes. Many times visions of life and its beauties
are altered by technology and a shadow is placed
upon all things through this vision. Often times,
the only way to escape these views is to be
without technology and its influences. The speaker
in Raymond Carvers poem, The Window, becomes aware
of this fact when he is without electricity and

Ages And Ages Grassy And Wanted

Poetry perceives the irrational mysteries and
subtle truths, through rational words. Although it
is not true to assume that poetry always emanates
its messages from the arcane land of mysteries,
but it is pretty safe to conjecture that poetry is
one of the means, most often utilized, to
virtually ground the invisible and get into the
inscrutable. When I started prepping up for this
assignment, I read several poems by different
poets. But hardly anything talked to my heart. At
