EN 206 Problem Set #3 1.What is the verse form of “Tintern Abbey,” “The Eolian Harp,” “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison,” and “Frost at Midnight”? These are examples of Blank Verse poems 2.In “Tintern Abbey,” Wordsworth feels “a sense sublime / Of something far more deeply interfused” (95-96). Define “interfused.” Interfuse: to intersperse, intermingle, or permeate with something. to blend or fuse, one with another. to pour or pass (something) between, into, or through;   infuse . verb (used without object),   in·ter·fused,   in·ter·fus·ing. to become blended or fused, one with another. In this scenario, I think Wordsworth is feeling a sense of love or passion, specifically for nature and this word was used to show he is blending with what he loves, nature. 3.The second stanza of “She dwelt among the untrodden ways” contains one metaphor and one simile. The first compares Lucy to a violet, the second compares her to a star. What are some of the differences between a violet and a star? What is the effect of moving from one figure to the next? The violet represents Lucy’s beauty, and compares it to a ‘big mossy stone’ which I interpreted as her beauty being hidden by other factors. The star, “Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky.” Represents Lucy being the only one, such as a shooting or regular star. I think both, a violet and a star, have meaning toward beauty. I think the purpose of the violet was to voice that Lucy’s beauty was being covered or hidden, but to the writer, Lucy is a lone, beautiful star in the night sky. 4.What is enjambment? (You can look it up in the back of the Norton, p.A16.) Give an example from the reading for this week. Enjambment is French for striding; encroaching, the opposite of end-stopping enjambment occurs when the syntactic unit does not end with the end of the poetic line and the fulfillment of the metrical pattern. When the sense of the line overflows its meter and, therefore, the line break, we have enjambment; Auden, “in memory of W.B. Yeats,” lines 44-45. We can see an example of enjambment in our poem “She dwelt among the untrodden ways”, when it says “She dwelt among the untrodden ways beside the springs of dove, a maid whom there was none to praise and very few to love”
5.Coleridge uses the word “eve” twice in “The Eolian Harp.” Where does he place the word in the line? Coleridge places the word ‘eve’ at the end of the line, to put a greater emphasis on it.
