Edgar Allan Poe Quot Quot

To be buried while alive is, beyond question, the
most terrific of these extremes which has ever
fallen to the lot of mere mortality. That it has
frequently, very frequently, so fallen will
scarcely be denied by those who think. The
boundaries that divide life from death are at best
shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one
ends, and where the other begins? Edgar Allan Poe
often uses the motif of premature or concealed
burials in his literary works. One such story is?
The Cask of Amontillad...

[The following excerpts from Hass introduction to
The Essential Haiku contain remarks that seem
relevant to " A Story About the Body. "
As more than one critic has observed, Hass ongoing
study of Japanese poetry is apparent in the Human
Wishes prose poems. These excerpts help elucidate
how " A Story About the Body" not only
conveys the condensed and detached feeling of
Haiku, but also exhibits many of the Japanese
forms conventions the spirit of haiku required

Jay Parini Perhaps the most haunting poem in
Mountain Interval is " An Old Mans Winter
Night, " a poem about an old man dying in the
wintry climate of New England and alone: "
All out-of-doors looked darkly in at him / Through
the thin frost, almost in separate stars. "
The poem meditates implicitly on the human
condition as a whole, though it remains neatly,
even maniacally, focused on the single old man
here who " stood with barrels round him at a
loss. " The old ...

. On " Ariel" Jon Rosenblatpoem like
" Ariel" possesses power and importance
to the degree to which the horseback ride Plath
once took becomes something morea ride into the
eye of the sun, a journey to death, a stripping of
personality and selfhood. To treat "
Ariel" as a confessional poem is to suggest
that its actual importance lies in the horse- ride
taken by its author, in the authors psychological
problems, or in its position within the

literary and social critic and radical, an
autodidact and polymath, a transvaluational

John Hollander If a mythical starting point for

metronome, the more complex Romantic reading of
nature demands a different sort of account. One

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

the way Eliot's poem embraced " the entire

dramatized the tragic situation of those who live
in modern times. Tates " Ode" treats

Richard Gray Williams purpose remains the same: to
emphasise or identify with the thing, not just to
describe it but to imitate it in words, to allow
it to express itself, to give it verbal shape, a
voice. And the immediate consequence of this aim
is, not surprisingly, a commitment to free verse:
rhythms that follow the shape of the object and
that respond to the exigencies of a specific
occasion. I must tell you, begins Williams in
Young Sycamore': the address is characteristically
