... that the reader's place will be deprived of the sun, but nature will reach out to you. This is described in lines eighteen through thirty. The best example of this is when Bryant writes: ..."the oak shall send its roots abroad and pierce thy mold"(29-30). In the third and final section of this poem, Bryant writes that you will die along with kings and others. The reader should get the most out of living he/she can possibly get because it is good, and do not be afraid to die but go pleasantly. This is described in lines thirty-one through eighty. The best example of this is when Bryants writes: ..."approach ...

... "slaughter" ("Point for them the virtue of slaughter") and "excellence" with "killing." ("Make plain to them the excellence of killing"). War may be honorable, purposeful, or necessary, but it is not kind, there is no virtue in slaughter, and there is no excellence in killing. Whitman notes in "Beat! Drums! Beat!" that when war comes, everything stops, including the sense and reason of the moment. No matter what is happening, there is no excuse for attending to anything else. The urgency of the moment rules. "Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? no sleepers must sleep in those beds", "Mak ...




Analysis Of "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"

... can be interpreted in many different ways. The precise form that Dickinson uses throughout "Because" helps convey her message to the reader. The poem is written in five quatrains. The way in which each stanza is written in a quatrain gives the poem unity and makes it easy to read. "I Could Not Stop for Death" gives the reader a feeling of forward movement through the second and third quatrain. For example, in line 5, Dickinson begins death's journey with a slow, forward movement, which can be seen as she writes, "We slowly drove-He knew no haste." The third quatrain seems to speed up as the trinity of death, im ...




A Critical Analysis Of "The Parting" By Michael Drayton

... This distillation process means that the waffle that would have filled up a piece of prose has to be cut, and leaves a much clearer, less cluttered version of his feelings. Often, he has to sum up in one line of the poem what he would normally have written a paragraph or more on. For example, "Shake hands forever, cancle all our vows" sums up very concisely the idea of the break being forever, with no possibility of a reconciliation, whilst also adding to the ease of understanding and therefore also to the meaning of the poem. Another constraint of the sonnet is the length of the lines themselves. In a sonn ...




Analysis Of Blake's "London"

... the word "charter'd", he reminds the reader of the commercial nature of the city, the fact that portions of it are owned, and that not everyone has equal access to goods or property. In the first line of his poem as Blake speaks of how he is wandering through the "charter'd" streets, he is commenting on this commercial aspect of London. As he moves on in his poem he also refers to the "charter'd" Thames, he is telling us in this second line that even a river which is a force of nature, is owned in London. When Blake says that he sees "marks of weakness, marks of woe" in "every face" he meets, he means that he ca ...




A Prose Analysis On Milton's "Sonnet XIX"

... as a self-poem to Milton, himself. In the beginning of the sonnet, Milton suggests that his primacy of experience have been deferred when he became blind. The words, "dark", "death", and "useless" (lines 2-4) describe the emotional state of Milton. His blindness created a shrouded clarity within his mind. Line three, "And that one talent which is death to hide" is an allusion to the biblical context of the bible. Line three refers to the story of Matthew XXV, 14-30 where a servant of the lord buried his single talent instead of investing it. At the lord's return, he cast the servant into the "outer darkness" an ...

... destruction, and terror that one will probably never find in an incentive brochure. Owen's powerful words are not only a far cry from the positive images that some associate with the war and dying, but an outcry for human beings to stop spreading the notion that men and women who die in battle also die in honor. Most of the men going off to fight during the World Wars could be classified as men at all. A person would be oblivious to this fact, however, if they relied on Owen's descriptive text alone concerning the way he saw his fellow soldiers in combat while describing his chimera, for they were "knock-kn ...

... voice of my education said to me He must be killed." This line from the poem says that the speaker knows that he should kill the snake because his education told him that he should, but his feelings for the snake told him that if he killed the snake that would be wrong. The second time that he expresses this theme is when the speaker questions his own manliness. This is stated in the poem when it says, "Was it cowardice, that I dared not kill it?" This line from the poem says that the speaker is worried that he will not be called a man because he did not kill the snake. The speaker does not want to feel less t ...

... that even the best of men will be taken by death. Their bones are left to the earth and their souls are taken elsewhere. We are slaves to death because everyone will die. The fifth stanza says that there are things that cause death that no human can control or stop. War, sickness, and poison are just a few. In the sixth stanza he says why should people gloat about death if know man has control over death? Why should you have pride about death? In the final stanza he says that our lives are but a short sleep compared to the eternal live we have after we awaken from that sleep. Once we die the soul is alive an ...

... Ligeia did not resemble Rowena in any way. Ligeia was just a figment of his imagination. The man was merely insane. He created Ligeia. "The narrator is obsessed with his Ideal to the point where it takes on a life of its own, and had no ability to control his mind"(Piethman 45). The narrator was always absorbed in the features of Ligeia and how wonderful she always looked. She was so perfect in every way that she could not possibly be human. This story could have been related to Edgar Allan Poe's could first wife's death that "Ligeia" was a part of him. In "Morella", it was said that she may have been a witch. ...
