This one is a Metaphysical poetry. It deals with new actuality. By new actuality meaning the new findings in 19th century. This Piece instead of metaphysics deals with actuality, for there are no references and abstractions. The unknown anonymous speaker in the poem is a lover who scrutinizes the very aspect of love. He starts the poem by implying that the love he holds is “rare” and “strange” because it was “begotten by Despair, Upon Impossibility.” He continues by saying that for him only…
The sounds of sheep baaing, the heavy breathing of a dog, the wind howling, and the nice smell of the evergreen forest and the quietness of the outdoors all combine to form the imagery of a unique, quiet painting. In the painting Shepherdess with Her Dog by Charles Emile Jacque, this rich description is exactly the imagery of shepherdess depicted in her environment. I have recently visiting The Tweed Museum in the University of Minnesota Duluth where I found this painting. The Shepherdess with…
Speaker: The narrative voice in the text is Sarah Vowell. Vowell provides the reader with hints that she possesses a liberal quality that is contrary to judgements of her father whom seems to align with a conservative way of thinking. An example of this would be when Vowell quotes, “I’m not saying who was the Democrat or who was the Republican – my father or I – but I will tell you that I have never subscribed to Guns & Ammo, that I did not plaster the family vehicle with National Rifle…
society. Dickson illustrates images that represent how torn she is about her performance as a woman. The poem begins with the lines “I felt a cleaving in my mind/ As if my brain had split” (1-2) creating a strong image of an intensive division that the speaker feels. She continues to say “I tried to match it, seam by seam, But could not make them fit” (3-4). When she is trying to match things seam by seam the reader is presented with an image of someone trying to match something such as a quilt…

or physical connection to the speaker. Donne for the most part spends the greater part of the ballad participating in a contention to charm her yet from time to time with a resolution. In his later verse, the woman tended to is a perfect lady who cherishes the speaker with a profound love mixed together with physical energy. In these cases, we for the most part can take his own significant other as the model for the darling. The poet himself: The writer or speaker of Donne's verse is…
Like paint to a canvas and sounds to music, words constructed in order create a beautiful piece of art called poetry that attempts to instill a piece of life in the reader using the word choices and order. In Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden the entire poem seems to be discussing a father who gets up early in the morning to start a fire. The first stanza discusses the specifics of the father’s labor. The second and third stanza, however, discuss the son’s reaction and relationship to the…
“Neutral Tones”: The Sinister Similarities of the Speakers The loss of a loved one is perhaps the most difficult experience that humans ever come up against. The poem “Porphyria’s Lover”, written by Robert Browning, adds a sense of irony to this. At the most superficial layer, the speakers in both “Porphyria’s Lover” and “Neutral Tones”, written by Thomas Hardy, both deal with loss. The tones in “Neutral Tones” seem to be indifferent, or Neutral. The speaker of “Porphyria’s Lover” ends up…
The song, “Be My Escape”, by Relient K, uses one main poetic device to convey the story that the speaker is telling: metaphor. Throughout the poem, the speaker illustrates that they are locked inside a house. We are told that they know how to get out, because they know who has the key, however they are afraid of what lies beyond their safe walls out in the world. They initially think that they know what is best for themselves. Eventually they come to the conclusion that they must take the chance…
