Hirshfield published “Tree” in 2000 as a free verse poem, breaking it into 4 stanzas and 4 sentences to convey the nature world. The poem represents a “young redwood” (line 2) that is growing near a house, near a kitchen window. The redwood is already scraping against the window frame of the house, reminding the reader of the “foolish” (line 1) idea of letting it grow there. Humans were created to be one with nature, but as they evolved as a species, they were obligated to choose between the…

as a figure of speech to capture the audience’s attention. For example, in line 1, “The time you won your town the race.” And line 5, road all runners.” Second through the fifth stanza, Housman uses metaphor as a figure of speech. He uses metaphors on: Line 8, “Stiller town”, he compares the cemetery to a town. Line 10, “Fields where glory does not stay”, compares the glory to a person that leaves the field. Lastly, line 13, “Eyes the shady night has shut”, compares the fame to an athlete.…

white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil.” (POE lines 7-12), this house has obviously not been taken care of for a very long time. The walls are blank and boring, the windows seem to be looking at you, but not see anything, the plants are weak, the trees have all been cut down and the stumps…

that constantly take place within a church setting since her sermons are derived directly from God; hence they can never create boredom. In line 12, she states, “So instead of getting into heaven—at last,” to enlighten the reader concerning the uproar that people make on what they perceive will get them into heaven. The speaker is very confident in the final line, “I’m going, all along,” as she is convinced that there is simply no way that she could not make it to heaven. The reader begins to…

literature then we tend to treat it like literature. ‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves’ (line 1) are words that are not familiar to the reader. Humpty Dumpty stated that ‘Brillig’ means four o’clock in the afternoon, when it’s time to boil things for dinner. There is evidence of morphological deviation, which is the deviation in how a word is formed, for instance, ‘brillig’ (line 1), and ‘frumious’ (line 8) Mick Short states that one manner of creating a ‘deviation at a morphological level is…

Coming,” what does Yeats mean when he writes “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” (line 2)? How does this relate to “the centre cannot hold” (line 3)? In “The Second Coming” there is a footnote at the end of the first line explaining what Yeats envisioned for the word gyre. It mentions that it was meant to represent the age of Christians and how it was spiraling downwards to an end. With this in mind, the second line that reads, “The falcon cannot hear the falconer” it paints a picture of a…

types of flowers for stealing attributes of his beloved (the Lilies stole the whiteness of his beloved’s hand, for example). In Sonnet 12, the narrator uses the color “white” to represent the unavoidable effects of time, while using the last two lines as a glimmer of hope that when his beloved is to die, he leaves behind children so that part of him remains there, in the end. The first time the color “white” is used…

Australian values and culture. The primary purpose is observed through its ceremonial function and is supported by the lexical and semantic features. The use of large amounts of adjectives and adverbs to pre-modify certain nouns is evident in the text. In line 8, ‘the distant constant slowly listless bang’, creates a very unique and specific imagery, suitable for literary entertainment. The lack of any punctuation between these modifiers suggest that the modifiers are read through quickly and…

One of my exceptionally most loved spots to go in my extra time is the shoreline. A shoreline is a national geographic nature made landform that is almost a waterway. It normally comprises of free particles, which are as often as possible made out of sand, rock, shingle, stones, or cobblestones. The particles living on a shoreline are every so often natural to the causes, for example, mollusk shells or coralline green growth. Shorelines normally show up around territories along the drift where…

conveyed throughout as the speaker describes the relationship between the lovers like a galaxy and supernova. (Bishop, 11). Line 1 begins with the speaker asking their lover, to take a drive back to their time together. In line 2 of the first…
