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...

Meaning Of The Poem Lewis Carroll
670 wordsIn Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky the use of imagination is a must. Carroll makes up words with rhyming sounds. This confuses the reader a little, but strangely enough you get some kind of an idea of what he is writing about. This is where the imagination comes in. When I heard these bizarre rhyming words for the first time my initial thought was that this poem doesn't make any sense. As I read on and certain words would go through my head, bells started going off, filling my head with ideas about ...

Songs Of Experience Good And Evil
1,811 wordsIn choosing a poem from the English Romanticism era, I found one that particularly stands among others. A poem that had some depth, in that I couldnt understand and feel what the poem was expressing at first glance. It is a poem that had a sense of mystery around it. These characteristics are exceptionally evident in William Blakes poem "A Poison tree. " William Blake was a British poet and painter born in 1757 to a father who was hosier. "Anger, "wrath, " and "fear" are very prominent in the sh...

Rhyme Scheme Romantic Poetry
624 wordsJohn Keats once said about Lord Byron He describes what he sees - I describe what I imagine, mine is the hardest task To Autumn is evidence of his way of thinking, as the poem is a vivid, lyrical portrayal of the English autumn, as he imagined it. The poem celebrates autumn as a season of abundance, a season of reflection, a season of preparation for the winter, and a season worthy of admiration with comparison to what romantic poetry often focuses upon - the spring. The poem is rather literal i...

' However, he refuses to do this, as by closing his eyes will block out the sight of his lover. From Line 15 onwards, Donne uses metaphysical conceit - something extremely typical of him, where he draws upon a vast range of knowledge to express his thought.

Sexual Intercourse Third Stanza

Death And Rebirth Bible Dictionary
1,193 wordsIn the book of Ephesians in the Bible, Paul describes the rebirth of the world upon Christs death, emphasizing the Ephesians new life (2: 4 - 5). This theme of death and rebirth is present in the poem Journey of the Magi, which, I will argue, is structurally and internally divided into three stages; corresponding to the sacrament of penance: contrition (guilt), confession and satisfaction. To understand this poem, one has to understand the impact that Christ had on the world. At the time of his ...

All of these excuses bring religion into the matter, which could be an effective tool in reasoning with women to consent to sexual intercourse. Donne's second poem, "The Flea, " brings many strategies of seduction to light. The poem begins with the image of a flea that represents sexual.

First Two Stanzas Stanza The Speaker
1,180 words'The Indifferent' by John Donne is a relatively simple love poem in comparison to his other, more complicated works. In this poem, 'he presents a lover who regards constancy as a 'vice' and promiscuity as the path of virtue and good sense' (Hunt 3). Because of Donne's Christian background, this poem was obviously meant to be a comical look at values that were opposite the ones held by Christians. According to Clay Hunt, '['The Indifferent'] is probably quite an early poem because of the simplici...

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...

Ode On A Grecian Urn Beauty Is Truth
1,535 wordsOde 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 seems to depict a group o...
