To understand better Keats’ style, I read some other writings and I reckon that he has a lot in common with Eminescu: the love of nature, the subject of mythology (the poem “Hyperion”), the…

This type of structure takes a form in which the first and last line of the first verse repeat throughout the poem. Hacker creates these repetition of words to make the reader become aware that the lines are important. By making this poem a…

For instance, the first few lines, the poem has a fast rhythm because most of the words are short. For example, the first three lines read, “I was…
