A Personal Response. Blake’s poetry is considered to be some of the simplest forms of this art, but in pieces of literature such as “Little Boy Found”, “Little Boy Lost”, “The Chimney Sweep”, and “The Lamb”, truly understanding the meaning of each word can change the overall meaning of this piece. Reading between the line is what makes a reader truly comprehend Blake’s viewpoints and ideas that he is trying to say within his poems. Readers thought that Blake was writing about things that did…

Twilight, a temporal image of in-between space, also tells about Walcott's imagination, his creative faculty and his conception of poetry which is related to the liberation of mental anxiety, there is a "correspondence between Walcott's creative act and the twilight. Indeed creative art is coterminous with twilight"(Macarie 81). As twilight occurs during the period of transition between daylight and darkness, creative art takes place between "the period of consciousness and the period when…

The making of poems, however, is never a solitary or isolated activity; it is both a part of life and an evaluation of life. To write poems with any seriousness at all means that one is bound sooner or later, to come upon some of the deepest, most vital experience of mankind . . . . What the poem discovers - - and this is its chief function- - is order and chaos, meaning in the midst of confusion and affirmation at the heart of…

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…

In the third poem, the speaker addresses the beloved for the first time. He has stepped into new territory and states that he had not known awe or desire before he met her. He begs her to choose him as a servant and to forgive the mistakes he is going to make. Three different images or ideas predominate the poem: a religious aspect, the concept of love as serving and the speaker’s youth and inexperience. After the trochees of the first two poems, the iambic metre of the third poem creates a…

W.H Auden’s modernist techniques combined with his unique style of writing makes his poetry difficult to read and interpret. However, his eccentric use of words calls for the reader’s imagination to create images that help grasp the central idea of the poem. Such can be seen in “Law like Love” starting with the ironic nature of the title. Law, as we know it is something which has clear cut definitions and rules which many do not favour. Love on the other hand, is not meant to have boundaries and…

In both ‘Because I Could Not Stop For Death’ and ‘Mid term Break’, Dickinson and Hearney present to us the themes of death and relationships. In this essay, I will explore these themes through looking at the word choice, literary devices and the tone of each of the poems. First of all, in ‘Because I could not stop for death’, Dickinson personifies “Death” as a welcoming and kind person who is taking her on this ‘journey’ from life to afterlife. In the first stanza, the word “kindly” is used to…

Take a slow, deep breath, winter is here. There is a particular stillness that characterizes winter and with it comes a subtle invitation to embrace a long, dark, season of slumber. This is the time to rest, reflect, hold space, vision, and hibernate. But unfortunately, the calm, peaceful nature of winter can also leave us feeling stagnant or un-inspired. Hibernating isn’t going to burn any calories and that’s why I write this article to make you feel inspired to stay healthy and take good care…
