What do you see when you read poetry? In the poems “A wounded deer leaps highest”, and “To fight aloud is very brave”, we see both outward appearances and internal emotions.
In both poems we see similarities and differences. We see outward expression in “The wounded deer leaps highest”. Right before death, the deer is the strongest, the same thing is said for disease. In the final stanza, however, we see a different feeling, it shows hiding your emotions in case someone “spy[s] the blood”. Which is to say that you have to be strong so people don’t see the agony within. In “To fight aloud is very brave”, we see an idea similar to the previous poem, but it is about those that aren’t seen and hidden. The title, gives the idea
