take-over by Charles VII, before his untimely
death in 1494 (soon after Ludovico's official
coronation no less). Consequently when Leonardo
had arrived in Milan (c. 1482), Ludovico was not
recognised as the official duke, which in my
opinion must have at least marginally affected his
position as the court artist. It is possible
though that Ludovico's admiration of Leonardo and
his work would have contributed to his hope to

Wilfred Owen Second Stanza
714 words
Futility by Wilfred Owen Wilfred Owen is arguably
one of the most famous poets of World War One. In
his well known sonnet futility he uses powerful
techniques such as personification, metaphors and
par-rhyme reinforced with powerful imagery to
demonstrate the harshness of war. This can also be

the first verse to a profound despair in the
second verse. This then causes Owen to question
the pointlessness of war. In contrast to his other
poems which ...
