Loss is something everyone has to go through, throughout life. There’s no way of escaping it, there’s always something that’s gone in one’s life. Bronte’s poem, Remembrance, and Hardy’s poems, The Darkling Thrush, and Ah, Are You Digging on My Grave? Are three poems that help us better understand the things we don’t really notice that we are missing. In the poem Remembrance, by Emily Bronte, one understands the loss of a loved one. In the poem The Darkling Thrush, by Thomas Hardy one is told…

similes including, “from the air like a cherished possession”. This is a simile because it includes the word “like”, and the definition in my own words of simile is a comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as. This poem includes no rhyme whatsoever…

“Poems About Fathers” “My Papa’s Waltz,” by Theodore Roethke, “Those Winter Sundays,” by Robert Hayden, and “My Father’s Hat,” by Mark Irwin were hard for me to understand at the beginning because of the difficult words they used through the poems. But after studying all the project resources and learning all the term, it was easy to understand them. I noticed at the end that they are very similar poems. The three of them describe different episodes of their childhood. One of the most…

Wallace Steven’s poem, Anecdote of the Jar, is structurally simple; however, the message is much more complex. Steven’s ultimately leaves it up the reader to decide what the meaning of the jar in wilderness may be. Immediately, it seems that the jar is profound. It is special. The man-made jar has a unique influence on the wilderness. Perhaps it is more than just a regular jar, or small jar, but a larger more distinctive jar. In the first stanza, Steven’s conveys, “It made the slovenly…

The speaker comes across a "dimpled spider; fat and white" that has captured and killed a moth on a white flower called a "Heal-all". This scene is in all white. Why is the flower that is actually blue, white? What brought the spider to that particular flower? Why did the moth come by at that time? Can such a small event of nature be considered part of any design? Stana two questions god's role as creator of nature. The shift of the poem takes place between stanzas when the speaker goes from…

A lingering sense of hopelessness is embedded within the human condition, manifesting itself in various ways depending on the person. This sense of hopelessness is delved into constantly within literature, although most poignantly though the works of Bobbi Sykes, Edgar Allan Poe, Wilfred Owen, and Seamus Heaney. Both Sykes and Poe utilise the poetic device of symbolism as to generate a persistent feeling of futility throughout their works. Through the emphasis of both the magnificence and…

Repetition, Syntax, Connotation in London by William Blake London appears to be a beautiful, majestic sort of place but according to the speaker described by William Blake, it is actually quite somber and dismal. The speaker seems to be observing many different people throughout the city, they are mostly just an observer who is walking and seeing things occur but maybe they have a certain perception which makes them view the world this way. Blake uses thoughtful repetition, interesting syntax,…

The subject of this poem is death by suicide and depression, the tone is very dark and gloomy. Personally, I don't have any experiences with suicide. However, I have experienced mild depression. That was my muse for this poem, not close the level of the speaker but the common depression that everyone experiences. The name of the poem is “Antarctica” because that is what I can related depression too, I remember feeling very cold when I had depression as well as lonely. It's a metaphor for the…
