Sonnet 130

The Dutch and His Control In the poem My Last Duchess by Robert Browning, Browning uses a particular imagery to create an image in the readers mind, to create a more imaginative and mysterious read. His style makes this poem easy to read and understand, but he also doesn’t come straight out with things so that you have room to think and create your own scene. Throughout the poem, Browning uses diction to support imagery. For example, when Browning writes, “I gave commands; Then all smiles…

The three poets, Longfellow, Dickinson, and Whitman, were all Romantic writers. During their time, they main focused on creativity, impossibility, nature, beauty, individualism, and the common man. Despite the three writers having different subjects for their poems and have their own unique style, they also shared similarities within their writings. Between the three writers, they shared similarities such as their poetic structure, literary devices, and mood as well. The first two writers,…

When Byron writes his texts, he uses a lot of different techniques to do so. According to Rochelle Ratner, “He toys with sonnet, satire, elegy, and love poems.” It’s very obvious that he doesn’t have a problem with coming up with good ideas, because he works with a lot of different types of writing types. Walks, Ocean, and Don were all really fun to read, and even though in…

We the people, live in a society where many events tend to bring down our emotions. There is no such thing as life limitations for any human being. People are blessed in many different ways with many divergent characteristics. Thousands of people don’t comprehend the value and importance of the every single one of us. Believing in ourselves can lead to a whole different successful path rather than the one of those who constantly find themselves in a negative place. Ted’s poem is a great example…

Sappho fr. 1 is a poem written by the greek poet Sappho. In 1-2 lines, Sappho addresses Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and praises her as the “daughter of Zeus” and the “weaver of snares”, the snares being love. In lines 2-4, she begs Aphrodite to stop her heart from feeling pain and sorrow, so it appears that Sappho is falling in love and needs Aphrodite to prevent her from heartbreak. Then in lines 5-9, Sappho calls upon Aphrodite, saying that if Aphrodite has ever helped her before then she…

which she turns down the advances of the poet. Throughout Astrophil and Stella “Sonnet 1” by Sir Philip Sidney and “My Galley” by Thomas Wyatt, the poets both describe their maddening, yet inspiring experience collecting both hope and despair, as well as chance and frustration. In both Astrophil and Stella…

I feel like John Keats’s intention into writing this poem was understanding that at the time he was very ill and that he might die of an early death. John Keats is very frustrated that he may never achieve his life’s work and to never experience love. He longs for love and fame, but in the end of the poem he realizes how small his desires are and basically just gives up and looks out into the ocean. John Keats’s tone in this whole poem is very doubtful. He is always doubtful in finding…

Comparing and contrasting “Sonnet 138” to “Dulce Et Decorum Est” is a tough challenge. They both have their own unique style and originality. There are several differences, but there are also several similarities too. I would say there are more differences than similarities. The similarities are little, but they are significant in a way. Sonnet 138 by William Shakespeare explains that two lovers agree to a relationship based on mutual deception. He starts by talking about her lying. He loves…

The poems that I choose from each poet are about the love and the lost. Even though they are four different poets and have different style of writings, however they ended up having a similar analysis of each poem. First, William Shakespeare’s poem, Sonnet 44, is about a woman that a man loves and wants to be with forever. But he had to face the truth of not being able to be with her and shows his pain of separation between him and his love. He uses water to represent…

Through out Edna St. Vincent Millay’s sonnet she uses multiple forms of Syntax and Diction. That contributes to the overall mood tone of her poem. Like most sonnets, this one involves the presence and or persistence of love. In this sonnet Only Until the Cigarette Is Ended the poet draws a reader's attention to an image of her smoking a cigarette and reminiscing about her past love. The poet Edna St. Vincent Millay uses forms of Syntax in her poem to create suspense and introduce a feeling of…
