War poet

The war poet and war poetry in general were terms used firstly within context of the World War I.. From the beginning of the war times, poetry was written mostly by civilians, not by poets. Such poetry had no established identity. It was later, between 1914 and 1918 when this type of poetry acquired notion of genre, and so-called soldier-poets became a species. Enormous increase in writing poetry related to the war occurred. War poetry became very realistic, describing situation as it was perceived by participants and soldiers. Genre of war poetry was really powerful – it could dramatize, energize and inspire language used in poetry. Differences in usage of language in Dylan Thomas´ and George Barker´s poems can be distinguished. They combine words in atypical patterns, by their own style. Despite those…

The Daffodils Romanticism extended between (1789-1820 and was affected by the French revolution, Napoleonic wars and the pan European movement across every art. People were split between those who wanted to search the powers and fear of an inner imaginative life and those who thought that living a romantic life is a form of dangerous self- indulgence those who believed in escaping to nature and those who wanted for poets to act such prophet and legislators and reform society . The period…

Modernist Poets Discuss the Impermanence of Glory In the period following World War I, citizens of all nationalities faced a dark disillusionment forcing them to grapple with personal identity and the purpose of life. People looked to artists of the age as builders of morale and shapers of societal perspective, yet the writers of that time had little more sense of direction than anyone else in the midst of ideological desolation. The only thing to be certain of was uncertainty. Two Modernist…

During the Poem “Song of Myself” Walt Whitman examines the complex idea of belonging in society by using sly commentary and symbols alike, while writing with a seemingly egotistical style. This piece was one of the twelve poems from the original collection of “Leaves of Grass” published in 1855, which was shortly before the Civil War started. This was a time of despair for Whitman because he was living in a fractured union. During this piece Whitman used many evocative situations to capture the…

What makes you ‘you’? Perhaps the answer to the question varies from group to group; Perhaps, we are a collection of our physical, mental, and spiritual components, all unique and different.

excitement about being in the company of daffodils at the end. When I read the first few lines of “Daffodils” by William Wordsworth, I was immediately interested in finding out why he was feeling lonely and what was happening around him. While reading this poem I enjoyed how he described everything that was going on around him, I could imagine how he was enjoying nature and how nature comforted him. William Wordsworth’s poem “Daffodils” demonstrates that romanticism and the loneliness of a human…

“Dover Beach”: In his “Dover Beach,” Matthew Arnold employs images related to the ocean to establish a theme relating to the cyclical nature of human life. Specifically, he refers to the continuation of misery throughout an individual’s life. This allusion to cycles is supported throughout the poem through the use of tidal imagery. For example, he refers to the French coast and how “the light gleams and is gone” (3-4) This is significant as light often works as a symbol of hope. Therefore, this…

A renowned idea using surprising symbols. It is debated as to whether Donne is a metaphysical poet or not, one view being from T.S Eliot that it is difficult to find any ‘precise use of metaphor simile or other conceit’ in order to identify Donne with the other metaphysical ‘poets as a group’. I however disagree with T.S Eliot and this poem ‘The flea’ contains a metaphysical conceit right through the poem. Using the surprising symbol of a Flea something so ‘little’ to represent something that in…

Dove’s familiar campaign promotes healthy image standards, but ironically the corporation also owns Axe, which is one company that imposes such ideals. From day one, children are bombarded with ads, pictures, and expectations. While there have been movements to improve self-image in adolescents, companies are merely capitalizing on the trend to sell their products without regards for their impacts. Our society defines people by appearance, and individuals cannot escape those superficialities…
