To a Skylark

1.) Skylark is an important song to the plot because the story begins to it, Janie and Benjamin are at the dance dancing to it. Another reason that it is significant is because whenever Benjamin drinks the Avian elixir he turns into a skylark, so in my eyes it a symbolistic idea that Maile Malory came up with. It also fits the time frame of the nineteen fifties kind of music. This also adds to the ‘mood’ of the dance, it’s a very romantic slow song that evokes the sweet heart in someone. 2.) The reason I chose this song was because the scene that this would take place in was the twins birthday party. Doyle the magnificent (who is the twins uncle), the psychic magician is performing at their party and is taking things from people's pockets…

Unlike the skylark who is a ‘scorner of the ground’ or the nightingale whose presence is only felt, the thrush is more mundane and close to the ground. The Victorian poets (writers) are more socially conscious and alive to the complexities of life, with an awareness of social responsibility, a feature distinctly absent in the Romantics. Hence, Hardy’s The Darkling Thrush presents a gloomy, pessimistic and worn out world in the first two stanzas with artistic fidelity to reality. The ‘broken…

However, since Shelley abhorred the realistic materialism, he put his desire into his poetry and used these innocent and pure natural metaphors to foreshadow his aversion to the reality and his fervent adoration to the nature. In To a Skylark, “ ‘Skylark-Image’ belongs to Shelley’s realm of fabulation, where to be ‘helplessly excited by one thing at a time’ and to vanish from sight is a good thing, the source and point of vitality. ‘To a Skylark,’ that textual ‘Scorner of ground,’ ...casting off…

INTRO: During the Romantic Era, a lot of poets came alive with the newfound love of nature. George Gordon (Lord Byron) and Percy Bysshe Shelley are just two of the six poets that wrote poems about nature and what it meant to them. the introduction of “To the Skylark” by Shelley and “Apostrophe of the Sea” by Byron really made the Romantic period burst with literature. Although the poets are similar with some aspects, they have very different writing techniques and you can tell through their…

face couldn’t be seen, covered by the skull of a bird, only his tired eyes visible. "I can smell death on you," He said, his voice softer and quieter than the Pearlcatcher expected. "I don't think you know what you’re talking about," He replied, feeling close to snapping. He dug his talons into the palm of his claw. Anubis circled around the stranger, his claws tapping on the cold concrete ground. "I believe you should talk to Skylark, my good lad," Anubis chuckled, his toothy smile barely…
