Rhyme Scheme Standard Meter Death
635 wordsDeath, commonly viewed as an all-powerful force against life, is otherwise described in John Donne's Holy Sonnet 10. As found in any English Sonnet, there is a rhyme scheme and a standard meter. Although the standard meter is iambic pentameter, as in most English Sonnets, the rhyme scheme differs a little from the usual, consisting of ABBA ABBA CDDC AE. Sonnets convey various thoughts and feelings to the reader through the different moods set by the author. In this case the speaker having to con...

John Keats Good Example
442 wordsJohn Keats interprets the nature of King Lear to be rather tedious. He talks about golden-tongued Romance with serene lute which could easily be reflected in Lears tranquil, half-witted mindset which fails to read between the lines. He refers to Lears daughters (General & Regan) as innocent appearing yet seductive devils. A good example of nothing imagery from the play is evident when Keats writes Shut up thing olden pages, and be mute. He is obviously telling us that Lear should keep his though...

Gift Of Writing Carpe Diem Poem
372 wordsThe poem On his Blindness, written by John Milton is considered, aside from Paradise Lost, one of his best works. The way the poem was written did not appeal to me, as it was somewhat hard to read. Although I was not intrigued by the style of the sonnet, I greatly enjoyed the meaning and substance of the poem. It is easy to see why this poem would be placed amongst the greatest of all times, because of the way Milton expresses his thoughts on him becoming entirely blind. The sonnet was written i...

Limits Of Language Moments Of Instability Kristeva
642 wordsA central argument in contemporary literary criticism remains to be the role of the author. Many theories approach a text with the intention of completely disregarding the author and solely analyzing the text as it exists. However, there are other theories which see the author as an element of larger consequence. The contribution of the individual to the meaning of a text may alter the affect entirely as Each individual is different, each possesses a unique subjectivity; yet also, paradoxically,...

Love Poems Love Poetry

W H Auden Fall In Love
1,186 wordsA Journal of Romance The Oxford dictionary defines romance as an atmosphere or tendency characterized by a sense of remoteness from or idealization of everyday life. The same book goes on to say that it also a prevailing sense of wonder or mystery surrounding the mutual attraction in a love affair. Every romance follows its own road. Some will end quickly, others last longer but ultimately fizzle or explode at the end, and a favoured few last a life time and beyond. So how do poets give us this ...

Threats Lust One
679 wordsNo Groove in the Gunsights Lars Kullberg Always under the thumb of his dark mistress, the speaker struggles beneath her power. Try as he may, he will never be able to break the tie of lust between the two. His threats are not threatening to her, and he knows this. His power is beneath hers, and he knows this as well. By threatening his lover in the 140 th sonnet, the speaker is merely admitting to his own helplessness to which he is forever bound. This appears to be the first sonnet in which he ...

Part Of His Life Garden Of Eden
2,260 wordsProfessor Rohde December Clifford Olson Milton Professor Rohde December 9, 1998 Reflections of Milton in Milton At a young age, John Milton was convinced that he was destined for greatness. He thought that he might perhaps leave something so written to aftertime's as they should not willingly let it die. For this reason he thought that his life was very important to himself and to others. He often wrote directly about himself, and he used his life experiences as roots for his literature. In Para...

Parts Must Die World Made Cunningly God
926 wordsDonne s Holy Sonnet Five confronts multiple inner spiritual and physical struggles while twisting together the struggles between science and religion. With the author claiming himself as a little world, he uses the metaphor to tie together both his physical and the spiritual struggles with evil. The poem then becomes not just a personal piece but a religious political one confronting the new discoveries of the world. Donne s cunning battle between himself and evil seems to reflect nicely with hi...

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 wordsThis sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great ability of playing with words. According to him a person is tongue-tied when he has either too much or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by giving an example of an unperfect actor who forgets his lines on stage and more curiously, some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the weight of his own strength. This use of paradox adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the foundation for the following quatrain. The first quatrain is like the silenc...

Donne Holy Sonnet
821 wordsAs a young poet, John Donne often utilized metaphors of spiritual bond in many of his Songs and Sonnets in order to explain fleshly love. Once he renounced Catholicism and converted to the Anglican faith (circa 1597), Donne donned a more devotional style of verse, such as in his Holy Sonnets (circa 1609 - 1610), finding parallels to divine love in the carnal union. In many ways, however, his love poems and his religious poems are quite similar, for they both address his personae? s deep-seated f...

Edwards Imagistically the poem is built upon " enclosure" burial by snow, the subways vaults, the truss of the El, the interred Union dead, the sword in the groove foreshadowing the " mausoleum" of the last line. But these images suggest not only constraint and death but ceremony, formal rituals like burial, inauguration, or for that matter battle itself. The city observes the occasion: the subways drum, the girders " charge" as the poet passes them, the s...
