“She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron is a poem consisting of a mere eighteen lines which in those eighteen line manages to reveal a form of beauty that many people living in the fast track miss during their lifetimes. It is a form of beauty that is shown in this poem through a woman but it is also a form of beauty that requires one to perceive it a certain way to enjoy the immenseness of the beauty. This poem is divided into three different stanzas each of which describes the nameless women in…

from song to spoken language was crucial to his upbeat style of music. The rhythm of his songs were essentially useless without the implementation of his lyrical features. It was interesting to see that out of all the songs in the year 1948, less than half of the tracks followed the artistical strategy. It was therefore clear that Louis Jordan did not necessarily adopt it as his trademark, but he still managed to experiment with other forms of preforming songs. To an extent, it could be agreed…

iambic or rhyming. “Iambic meter is supposed to follow the most common pattern of the English speech.” (Shmoop.com) The rhyming pattern is irregular. It is written in a half rhyme pattern. The rhyme is formed by words that are similar not identical. One example of this is me and immortality in lines two and four. These "Half" rhymes are spread all throughout the poem. This helps bind the poem together. Another pattern in the poem is the use of the words, "We passed" in lines 9,11, and 12. In…

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…

aboriginal rights, while Ted is talking about his experience with pike fish and what he knows about them. I prefer the poem hunting snake as it talks alot about the beauty of the snake. I also prefer it because of the structure in the poem and how it rhymes and has caesura’s in the poem to give effect. In the two poems there are conflicting emotions such as beauty, fear, power and structure. Beauty is shown within both poems. The area they are in is beautiful and so are the animals. In Hunting…

In the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow hangs the icon of Our Lady of Vladimir. Considered one of the masterpieces of Russian Iconography, the icon is the most venerated in Russia. Unlike other more austere Marian icons, Our Lady of Vladimir belongs to the Ἐλεούσα Eleousa or ‘tender-touch’ iconographic style. This style is known for stressing the humanity of Christ; a compassionate God who suffers with humankind. Painted in the twelfth century, the icon depicts Mary and the child Christ. In this…

Country songs are about stories. Every country song has some sort of message or meaning embedded within the lyrics or the music. From Jimmy Rodgers to Johnny Cash, then to George Strait and Garth Brooks, and now Sam Hunt and Brett Eldredge. All country music is just a country boy getting their feelings or stories out there. The song All On Me by Devin Dawson is no exception. All on me is about a guy and a girl. The guy sings to the girl how much he’s willing to do have her love. To gain her love…

The poem “Love is not all” by Edna St. Vincent Millay deals with multiple views about love and its importance. The poem is written in the Petrarchan format, which consists of an octave and a sestet. The rhyme scheme does lead away from the traditional sonnet form, whereas Millay uses the Shakespearian rhyming scheme instead of the Petrarchan. The speaker of the poem speaks of their feelings of love, however shows an ambivalent attitude towards the topic. The first 6 lines are spent dismissing…

For example Tennyson writes the first few lines in stanza one with unrounded vowels [“lie… rye… sky… by” (I. 1-4)], highlighting the open, free world that surrounds, yet is denied to, the Lady of Shalott. Meanwhile, the second half of this stanza, which introduces the small island of Shalott, indulges in rounded vowels [“go… below… below” (I. 6-8)]. This contrast in closed and open sounds symbolizes the contrast of the open and closed worlds, of freedom and confinement. Another…
