    The poem “The Thought-Fox” is written by Ted Hughes’ in 1957. The poem exists out of descriptive and figurative language; this language is used to emphasize the intrinsic and complex relationship between a poet and the poet literary creations.

    Isaiah states that the people will exchange their swords for plowshares. H.D. states that the time, where the exchange will happen, has not occurred yet. During this time, the early forties, there was a yearning for peace. “Peace be still” is reference that H.D. says, thus placing it in a direct juxtaposition to the next line “lovest thou not Azrael” (67). By creating this distinction, the word choice puts peace in direct contradiction from Azrael. Azrael is the name of the archangel of death in…
