Couplet

shift in between the octave and sestet called the turn in line 9, where the speaker calls his kinsmen to action, "meet the common foe!" The final six lines, sestet, answers with a solution to the problem which is to revolt against the unfairness. The couplet in the end of the poem sums up the conclusion that they should not tolerate the…

"The Fireplace Sweeper" involves six quatrains, each after the AABB rhyme conspire, with two rhyming couplets for every quatrain. The main stanza presents the speaker, a young man who has been constrained by conditions into the unsafe control of stack sweeper. The second stanza presents Tom Dacre, a kindred stack clear who goes about as a thwart to the speaker. Tom is vexed about his present situation, so the speaker solaces him until the point that he nods off. The following three stanzas…

Partita no.2 in c minor, BWV 826 The second partita was announced a little less than a year after the first. Its minor key and the style of the opening sinfonia declare it to be a more serious piece. It is also more conventional, containing a relatively traditional allemande and courante as well as a rondeau, a form favored by Couperin and other French composers but treated sparingly by Bach. Yet these movements are conventional only superficially. The sinfonia, whose initial section looks like…

Duffy presents her idea of good and bad of love by relating it to a Greek mythology. On the other hand Rossetti and Armitage presents their idea of good and bad of love by putting in language features such as personification, metaphors, enjambment and alliteration. One of the many ways that Duffy presents the bad ideas of love in ‘Hour’ is when she refers back to ‘Midas’s light’– one of the Greek mythologies. This shows that Duffy is trying to express that love isn’t all that good as Midas had…

ABSTRACT Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement which started off in Italy from the late fifteenth century to the early seventeenth century. After it started in Italy, spreads across European countries such as England and had an effect upon the literature of this period, so based on from here the purpose of this study was to search these effects in terms of poem’s theme, structure, aspects and some parts where poetry was influenced by renaissance in Elizabethan Age. The study analysed…

Often times when reading translations of Shakespeare’s sonnets, the true essence of the poem is lost, which can be seen particularly in sonnet 73. When reading the original sonnet, the reader feels the raw emotion described in the fight with aging, which is described through the seasons and colors. These descriptions cannot simply be converted without losing the central metaphors of the poem. While the paraphrase misses the complexity of the poem it also diminishes its sound pattern, which is…

The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock by T.S. Elliot has many traditional modernist elements. One of the most noticeable elements in this poem is the element of multiple allusions drawing from many different sources. In order to understand many of the allusions, the reader would have to be well read or at least knowledgeable of world events, history, biblical references and folklore. The first allusion in this passage is a scientific reference to early anesthesia, which was preformed by using…

Luckily, Chaucer’s implementation of rhymed couplets guided the audience through the obstacle of language in his tales. At the end of line 409, the word “wood” would immediately make us refer to a physical tree instead of an adjective. However, this word further helps the next line rhymes with the…

“To me there's no creativity without boundaries. If you're gonna write a sonnet, it's 14 lines, so it's solving the problem within the container.” All sonnets follow one form and style but it is the result of emotional pain, personal values, state of mind and rational actions that separate and differ one sonnet poem from another. Sonnets were first introduced to the world in Italy traditionally written as love poems. This particular style of poetry was invented in the early 12th century, by the…

I watched the New York Philharmonic Orchestra perform Symphony No.5 of Dimitri Shostakovich, which took place at Bunka Kainan, Tokyo, Japan in 1979. This concert was conducted by Leonard Bernstein. The concert lasted approximately 50 minutes and included varieties of instruments. Instruments to name are a large group of violins, clarinets, cellos, French horns, a harp, flutes, basses including a bassoon and oboe. I tend to hear various melodies used elsewhere either from Star Wars and or Pink…
