The speaker discusses the meaning of time and love and how they connect in the long ride. The speaker diction’s also contrast the attitude of clocks with the lover.

    In Thomas C. Foster’s “If It’s Square, It’s a Sonnet” chapter in How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Foster explains how a sonnet’s structure relates directly to the meaning and the purpose of the sonnet itself. “Sonnet 2” can be analyzed in such a manner, and its meaning and structure are very closely intertwined. The sonnet itself is structured as an English sonnet in iambic pentameter and follows the rhyme scheme of ababcdcdefefgg. The sonnet is broken into three quatrains and a couplet. The meaning of English sonnets can often be interpreted based on dividing the quatrain.…

    I won’t quote the entire poem because it’s too long but the entirety of the piece is that nothing last forever, not our beliefs, not love, or even the beautiful Appalachian hills. But what we can do is live through it as its happening. “You are the girl I choose to be my bride/ You are the girl that I could love forever…say not the youth in spring will bloom forever… say not the birds of spring will sing forever/ They’ll chirrup lonely on the winter bough……

    Subject: This poem is essentially about a love between two people and how that love can last even when they are far away from one another. Paraphrase: As the righteous men pass away mildly and mumble to their good conscious to leave, while most of their depressed friends say that the breath has gone now, but others still say no: so allow us to melt away and to be silenced, no tears shed, or sighs; it was the degradation of what made us happy to tell the community about our love for one another. As the earth moves, more harm is made and fear escalates, and the men wonder why it did such a thing, however, being alarmed of the world turning is truly nothing to worry about. Boring love of our world between two lovers can not, in it of itself,…

    Describing “time stills in my mind like unbroken snow” represents the eternal but passing memory of this first love. His “fear of first love as first things fail” conveys the regret of the persona. Simultaneously the persona accepts the relationship has ended. He transitions through the poem from saying “time does not pass” to “time passes as the seasons pass”. Meyers makes a point that first love is beautiful and timeless when you’re in it, but it will come to an end eventually.…

    Wulf And Eadwacer Analysis

    Wulf and Eadwacer: They are One One of the most intriguing mysteries about “Wulf and Eadwacer” is whether or not it is designed to portray a specific plot and a fixed set of characters or is it created to have numerous scenarios derived by its audience. Found in the Exeter Book preceding a section of riddles has led many scholars to believe that this poem’s anonymous author intends for it to have a ”cryptic quality” and be ambiguous (Jones 373). Several varied interpretations of the plot include an adulteress woman longing for her lover, a mother mourning the loss of her son, a woman longing for the return of her husband or lover, and a canine love story, but they all must make unsubstantiated assumptions about the original text to fit their…

    This is because love is deep, crazy and strong, when you throw yourself in it is intense and this is shown by the full stanzas, the single lines are the less intense, calmer parts of love. 'Mean Time ' is similar as it has disjointed sentences so that the reader can relate and the pauses allow time for the reader to think and empathize with the narrator. To aid this, the poem is ambiguous as every one suffers loss no matter what gender and we all feel it deeply. This is also why three tenses are used throughout the poem, to show that loss is eternal and ever effecting.…

    Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” is an amazing piece of work masterfully created in such a way that gives absolutely every part of the poem meaning and letting no word go without use. The poem at its most basic discusses the end of the world, and whether it will be in fire or in ice. Frost uses emotions instead of science to determine the answer, pairing fire with desire, and ice with hatred. However, Frost uses a creative poem structure, amazing symbolism, and great allusions to create a much deeper meaning to the poem, that crimes of passion are better that crimes of reason.…

    In ‘Always Marry An April Girl’,Nash’s depiction of April can be seen as misogynistic through his negative views on women’s emotional, sensitive and fleeting nature. The poet plays on the noun “April” by constantly contrasting the woman and the month against each other. “April golden, April cloudy,/Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy”. The repetitive use of the noun “April” is used to juxtapose the adjective “golden” which represents autumn and the verb “cloudy” which could connote rain and gloominess. The listing of the woman’s characteristics could suggest how women constantly change how they feel due to their ‘sensitive’ nature, which creates a change in pace.…

    In “Morning in the Burned House,” Margaret Atwood suggests that when recalling the past there is a tendency for a person to desire dwelling in the past instead of living in the present, therefore there must be a destructive force in order to reinforce reality and continue progress. The author of the poem carefully chose the title as it reveals a lot about the entire meaning of the poem. Atwood used words such as morning, burned, and house in the title. Morning might be a connotation of a new beginning or a symbol of hope, but it is the opposite of its homonym, “mourning,” which is usually attached to grief or sorrow.…
