The poem I have chosen to analyise is “Déjà la nuit en son parc ammassait...” by du Bellay. The reason I chose this poem is because after analyising it, I was fascinated by the themes and what appears to me as, du Bellay's view of life. In my opinion, the poet explores not only the basic themes of love and nature but also the link between nature and human beings. In the first stanza, the poet personifies the night saying that it is the night that gathers the wondering stars “un grand tropeau…

Robert Frost was a critically acclaimed American poet whose work revolutionized twentieth-century poetry.

Emerson observed nature rather than lived in it. He experienced nature in…

A sin and a crime can be synonymous, but it varies, based on what a person believes. A religious person would consider a crime to be a subset of sins. Based on religion, the cycle to follow after committing a crime would comprise punishment, repentance, and redemption. We see this cycle in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, as the mariner is punished by nature for killing the albatross. Readers can connect with the mariner as he deals with the consequences of his sin; he undergoes a spiritual…
