importantly, it deals with love as a conquering solution to address the major concerns of her country in the nineteenth century. Crawford’s cure for greed, nihilism, and the desirous exploitation of the “smooth-coated men” (II, 230) was love, which she deifies as capital L love. Personified love in the poem is embodied by Katie whose appearance, morals, and steadfastness is exemplary of the characteristics of love. Her “opponent” Alfred, the nihilist, doubts the existence of love, celebrates the…
bind your love and make it stronger. 7 red candles are lit on the perimeter of the circle. Place rose quarts on the circle, at least 7 pieces. Draw a symbol sacred to Ishtar between the two of you. Symbols.com is a good source. Have 7 items representing your love beside you, a witch bottle to trap your love and protect it forever.... unless of course the bottle breaks, but its a good way to end it I suppose. Anyway, sprinkle sugar on the sign and say together: Son of love, who conquers…

I began my WOOP by identifying my wish, a wish that I really have been trying to conquer for a while. I want to be able to talk to my boyfriend, or even best friends, openly about things that bother me. I wanted to be able to communicate with them without the fear of being judged or questioned for how I felt. The outcome that I kept in my mind was the bettering of our relationship and strengthening our trust. I truly took my time to think about how much this could benefit us and how good it…
While the lover foolishly believes that his love can outlast time, the clocks scorn the lover, knowing that time will eventually conquer all. In the poem, the use of personification builds the two different attitudes of the clocks and the lover. When Auden writes of the lover, the personification adds joyful and strong emotion to the conversation the lovers are having. The lover says “the river jumps over the mountain / And the salmon sing in the street,”which personifies the river and the…
Wherefore art thou Romeo. Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet”. Simply, Juliet says (not knowing that Romeo is listening) to dismiss your father and change your name or else, if you won’t change your name, just vow you love me and I’ll stop being a Capulet. This famous scene is where both Romeo and Juliet admit their love to each…
tragedy written by Euripides, and first performed in 431 BCE. Medea tells a story of a woman, Medea, who has been wronged by her husband, Jason.

Medea has a monologue (lines 1039-1080) in which she decides whether she wants to kill her kids or not. The purpose of killing the kids would be to exact…
Compare and Contrast The two stories A Secret Sorrow by Karen Van der Zee and A Sorrowful Woman by Gail Godwin can be seen to have contrasting qualities. Primarily, A Secret Sorrow conveys a cliché love story of a woman, Faye; who can’t have kids and is scared of being a disappointment to her soon to be husband, Kai. However, they work out their issues, adopt kids, and live happily ever, “in the low white ranch house under the blue skies of Texas…” (Zee 37). Second, A Sorrowful Woman is…
burned with anguish and anger” (158). “Araby” is a story of initiation, which allows us to recognize that the short story, will without a doubt include a valuable life lesson. This story tells a story about a young boy who believes he has fallen in love with a girl who he has never really had a conversation with and has eventually created an image of her in his head that is unrealistic and foolish. For this very reason, throughout this story the young boy goes from being a child in the beginning…
In this poem the speaker talks about taking a stroll in the evening, gazing upon the crowds of people and hearing a lover sing to his beloved about how his love for her will never end, but then he imagines that the clocks start responding to the lover’s words. The clocks respond to the lover with contradiction by suggesting that love will end at some point because life ends. The lover’s tone appears optimistic, but the clocks’ tone contradicts the lover with words expressing candid cynicism. The…
