Censored Ing Second Stanza
1,280 wordsThis Be the Verse by Philip Larkin They censored you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were censored ed up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were sloppy-stern And half at one another's throats. It deepens like a coastal shelf. And don't have any kids yourself. Lately, I have read a good deal of poems by Philip Larkin, and one unifying factor that I have not...

Roller Coaster Second Quatrain
1,143 wordsIn his English sonnet When I Have Fears (pg. 17, Vendler), John Keats attempts to put into words the human emotions felt when dealing with death. I believe that Keats wrote this poem to describe the natural order of emotions he went through while thinking of his own mortality. The tone of the sonnet takes a roller coaster course throughout the poem from one quatrain to the next. With careful examination one can see that Keats used the first quatrain to describe a state of utter confusion, the se...

Sharp Or Flat Sung Or Played Clef
668 wordsFor a very long time music was not written down. It was sung or played from memory. As it was passed on from person to person, many changes crept into the tunes. A way of writing music down was needed so that it would be sung or played exactly as it had been composed. The name for written music that man developed is notation. The system of musical notation generally used today is the result of centuries of development- from about the end of the ninth century to the early 1700 's. This developmen...

Wilfred Owen Poetic Devices
756 wordsWilfred Owens poem, Arms and the Boy, is a subtle criticism of war that asks deeper questions about violence in human society. Man is born with little that could be used as a physical weapon of violence. His teeth seem for laughing round and apple and there lurk no claws behind his fingers. Despite this lack of natural weaponry, human beings create themselves powerful, destructive weapons of steel and zinc that are far more deadly than any natural teeth, claws, talons, or antlers. Owen makes use...

Meyer Lansky Lucky Luciano
1,867 wordsCharles "Lucky" Luciano, without doubt the most important Italian-American gangster this country ever produced, left a far greater impact on the underworld than even the illustrious Al Capone. In 1931, Luciano created what can be called the American Mafia by wiping out the last important exponents of the Sicilian-style Mafia in this country. Together with Meyer Lansky, Luciano was also a founder of the Mafia's "parent" organization, the national crime syndicate, a network of multi-ethnic crimina...

Amp Quot Iambic Pentameter
1,588 wordsIn order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet, it must meet certain structural requirements, and Sonnet 138, & quot; When my love swears that she is made of truth, & quot; is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet, the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet, and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However, it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a 'love' po...

Dulce Et Decorum Est Froth Corrupted
1,653 wordsDulce et Decorum Est is one of the most powerful poems ever expressed. The tone of voice and imagery created in your mind, the tension you feel when you read through it, they all make you feel as if you are actually in the poem. The tone of the poem seems to be very antagonistic and bitter. Knock kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge. Is an example of aggressive tone and bitterness. It gives you an idea about the soldiers going barmy on the mud they have to trudge through. Irritate...

Emily Dickinson Dickinson Poems
2,794 wordsAnthony Hecht Again, this poem has been read as an instance of Emily Dickinson's deliberate tact and poetic strategy " in a generation which did not permit her, without the ambiguity of the riddle, to tell the truth... she early learned that success in circuit lies. " I cannot disprove that notion, nor do I feel obliged to; but the poem seems to me to have a good deal of religious significance that such a statement inclines altogether to flout: And it came to pass on the third day in t...
