However, one can infer that Patrick is trying to tell us that true love cannot be hindered by others’ perspectives.…

    The troubadours had a very significant influence on poetry and the social atmosphere in this time period during The Middle Ages; they made a huge impact on poetry and music itself. The world at this period was quickly changing in many ways, as was the music and poetry and music of this period as well, all because of the troubadours. This period of time saw the creation of what would become the modern representation system which allowed composers to compose much more problematical melodies and rhythms. It was quite a change from the church music, which was singlehanded simply because it would have made it to enjoyable and therefore not spiritual enough . The troubadours were leaders in this time period and changed a lot of the minds of what love ought…

    The author brilliantly used the syntax to make the poem more compelling to the readers. The repetition of the line “Watercress grows here and there” in the second, fourth, and the fifth stanza gave the poem an overall melodic rhythm. Moreover, the exact repetition of “Gentle maiden, pure and fair” in line 3,7,15, and 19 emphasized the young man’s desire for the fair lady. While exact line repetition occurred, repetition with small variations was also embedded in the poem as signals for plot…

    John Frederick Nims’ “Love Poem” is a poem describing someone he loves. The first line of the poem, “My clumsiest dear, whose hands shipwreck vases”, at first may be interpreted as the start of some form of insult. This line also intrigues the reader to continue and explore what Nims has to say about his “dear”. Though the poem begins by depicting some negative attributes that his love possesses, Nims doesn’t forget to describe her positive attributes, “Only with words and people and love you move at ease”. Overall the poem uses different elements of poetry to portray the idea that although his “dear” has many imperfect qualities, he loves her despite of them all.…

    The Romantic Period lasted from 1785-1832. During this time, the Democratic Revolution in France launched, which was the French Revolution. This revolution caused and shaped the Romantic period to be political, social, and economic with all three drastic changes. During the Romantic Period, many authors wrote poems, with a lot of emotion of love, passion and strong messages that we can now relate with in this livelihood.

    The human mind is an incredible piece of artistry. It can calculate the finest of details instantly, create breath-taking works of art, and allows us to understand the great sorrows of Earth. The mind can grant insight into reality and allows for the ability to feel happiness well as pain and grief, “for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” (Hamlet 2.2). This complex paradox, between awareness through knowledge and ignorance, is explored by both Donald Justice in his Italian sonnet, “The Wall”, and John Keats’s poem, “Ode to a Nightingale”. In their works this is accomplished through careful choice of poetic form, the use of analogies that define the boundary between knowledge and ignorance, and dream or sleep imagery.…

    The Senior English Curriculum currently uses texts that are easy to read and have comical contexts and allow students to pick different themes to read about. Like the theme of identity and acceptance which are evident in the novel Looking for Alibrandi, or the corrupting sensation of guilt which is seen throughout the novel of The Song of an Innocent Bystander. Poems are also analysed, and the poem The Passionate Shepherd to his Love, represents the concept of love and romanticism, and what better way to show the effect of love is through the supremacy of jealousy and manipulation in the Shakespearian play Othello. All these texts have their own philosophies and representations of concepts, which are all deemed suitable for a senior English…

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so the saying says. “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron (George Gordon) is a poem about one woman in particular that the speaker is obviously enamored with. There is no mention of “love” nor “desire” in the poem and it seems that the speaker wants to make that point very clear. It appears more to be an ode to the amazing beauty of a particular woman. However, by the end of the poem it is almost as if the speaker is trying to convince himself that he does not love nor desire the woman he is referring to.…

    The short story “Federigo's Falcon” by Giovanni Boccaccio and the poem “How Do I Love Thee” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning both develop the theme of love in their own ways. “Federigo's Falcon” develops the theme of love by telling the story of a man who gave up his most prized possessions twice for the woman he loves. “How Do I Love Thee” develops the theme of love by having the narrator detail how much they love their partner and by describing their unconditional love. Both pieces of writing develop the theme of love in different ways, but there are some similarities between the two. “Federigo’s Falcon” develops the theme of love by detailing the sacrifices Federigo made for the woman he loved, Monna Giovanna.…

    In this essay, I am going to analyze and compare the following poems, " I Wanna Be Yours" by John Cooper Clarke and "Fight Song" By Rachel Platten. Although they both cover different topics, they are both effective. "I Wanna Be Yours" talks about the strong feelings towards the poets loved one whereas "Fight Song" talks about never giving up no matter how low, lost or hurt you feel. I believe "Fight Song" is more compelling than "I Wanna Be Yours" according to the use of personification, metaphors, and Anaphora. To begin with, personification in "Fight Song" surpassed the personification in " I Wanna Be Yours."…

    CONCLUSSION The development of a love poet, can be traced easily by subtle analysis of various strains that define different moods and shades of love. The great metaphysical poet, John Donne provides a great instance of this kind of analysis of the poem. The first phase of Donne's love poems are conspicuous for exasparation and eccentricity that owes its genesis to peculiar notion that woman is essentially unfaithful and the object of sexual pleasure only. The second phase begins with the realization of the sentimental worth of a woman and in the third phase the poet enjoys the bliss of Platonic love where body, despite lingering functionality, ceases to matter and love is manifest at spiritual level.…
