Swan Lake

emotions shift a lot, as do his perceptions and impressions). So, perhaps it'd be best to look at a poem ("The Swan"-- a very well-known one) and just think about it... keep in mind that your themes here have strong ties with memory and ideals, change and stasis (the death of ideals with time, for instance; everything changes, everything must die-- many combinations of ideas like that). For the Swan And one old Memory like a crying horn Sounds through the forest where my soul is lost . . .…

Reflections of Narcissism If studied carefully, the paintings Metamorphosis of Narcissus (Dali) and Swans Reflecting Elephants (Dali) by Salvador Dali, both made in 1937, revealed reflections or double visions. Perhaps the reflection captures the venturous atmosphere of these different kinds of pieces. Dali specifically presents not so much a reflection of power—but feelings of malfunction. Indeed, failure is partly necessary to produce a refreshing image of which one actually exists; Dali…

This starts from Julia’s description of the book author’s name, Louise Bogan, sinking underwater, “The swans posed on a placid lake, your name blurred underwater sinking to the bottom.” (Stanza 1) the grasp of the speaker’s attention is referred to within this imagery. As the author’s name sinks, her urge to grab and observe the book likely increases, the poem seems…

Is Yeats a good poet? - Angélique Dongo Yeats' excellency is clearly portrayed in his poems.

The PowerPoint eight sheds a light on my knowledge and understanding about ballet. I am totally astonished to learn in the “History of Ballet” video that King Louis XIV was the father of this kind of art form. That is probably why I always feel and view ballet as one of the most graceful and classy types of dance. Even though ballet is typical and unique with five basic steps or positions that were invented by King Louis XIV and still applied till today, it has a wide variety of aspects and has…

Henri Cole’s poem “Swans” speaks about the passing of a father and the impact it has on his children, through his use of imagery of the scene to reflect the internal thoughts of his characters, symbolism as manifestations of their traits, and similes to describe their emotions. From the onset, Cole’s word choice of “must have looked,” (1) implies that everything is not how it seems, thus the calm nature of “ordinary/ tourists feeding . . . swans,” (1-2) is the opposite of the speaker’s feelings…

In the two totalitarian societies, Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany, politics and the arts were prevalent. In both countries, a strict one ruler government was formed in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, through the dictatorships in each country the citizens were able to connect to the history of dance. While dancing was famous in Russia under Lenin and Stalin, Germany floundered and did not succeed under the rule of Hitler. Although these two countries may not seem to have a comparison, they…

which echo on the stage in unison with the calm beat of the music. This is it, the moment I have been preparing for non-stop for months. I am dancing Swan Lake. My name is Odette. Alright, so my name isn’t actually Odette, it’s Annie. The boring, brunette, ballerina who likes to escape into fantasy lands such as the land of the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, or Cinderella. However, the only way I can do this is through my dancing. This is a good thing because years ago I had devoted my mind, body, and…
